Not if you burn those same 4000 calories a day.

Unless you're Micheal Jai White[0] or Dwayne Johnson[1], you won't burn 4000 extra (kilo)calories a day.

My running app estimates I burned a bit over 4000 calories in the marathon I ran last weekend!

Though clearly this is an exceptional event, not something I could do even semi-regularly.
