How many calories would a trainee burn in a day at basic training?
Not just with all the physical workouts but with the marching, drills and so on. It’s constant stress, how many calories would a normal trainee burn?
Could someone who is 165lb 5’6″ go down to 120lb? Or is it to much?
(Im not referring to Marine bootcamp which is tougher than the others)

The only one who has basic training is the Air Force. I only lost about 8 pounds. I think 45 pounds is not doable.

Count on maybe 4 to 6 lbs a month if you’re exercising and eating intelligently. Any more loss is too hard on your heart. You can lose a bunch in the first week but that doesn’t count, its what you lose over a few months is when you find the limitations of your body.

Put is this way I consumed about 3,000-3500 cals a day in basic and I lost 17 pounds.
Keep in mind you you run before you eat breakfast so that burns quit a bit of fat.
If you make the right decisions and thre chow hall you could probably lose maybe 30 pounds in basic.

4000-5000 in the Marines on some days. Other services will be over 2000 per day on training days. Sundays are usually light.
You will lose weight
