I was on medication tho that elevated my heartrate and I became numb to food. Zero appetite. I could have sustained it a bit longer, I had a major suicide attempt though. Which caused a lot of damage. Like consuming and burning 6k calories a day is absolutely insane.
I should have added at least 500 calories to my diet based on how much I was working out.
So I want to say it's possible. It's dangerous.
It's also dangerous to work out hard enough to expend an additional 1k calories per day. That's combat levels of metabolic stress and damage. It will shorten your outside lifespan range. Your skeleton will take a beating.
If u are into life extension, extreme caloric restriction is the way ppl go.

Yea I’m a freak, I don’t recommend anyone who isn’t an elite-level athlete work out like me. I’m also on a slew of supplements, including some at times that are not FDA approved for human consumption (research chemicals) to assist with recovery
That being said, if someone with very little recent workout experience tries to jump into my workouts, their body will break down and it will produce large amounts of the stress hormone cortisol which will actually greatly hinder their progress. I’ve been working out so hard so long that my body has adapted to them, our bodies are highly adaptive
