Study seems flawed significantly in that it used athletes for its test subjects, in the military, specifically specifically forces, a soldier can burn 10k calories a day, for periods of up to 2 to 3 weeks at a time.

The article mentions "long term sustainable" but says title says "ultimate limit", which to me, are two very different things.
