As an interesting side note, riders in the TDF regularly expend 10,000+ calories per day. If they only ate 2500 calories a day, they'd come out of the tour 30 pounds lighter than when they started. |

Re: eat more than calculation predict...
Even though I am new to endurance sports, I have found that I have had a hard time eating enough calories to maintain my weight. I think that 3K per day is more than reasonable for your weight and your body should show signs of weight gains or losses if your intake is not correct. Also, pay attention to your energy levels. This can also be an indicator whether you are getting too much or not enough.
