You have to misinterpreting something. 2.5x is 4750 calories total. Athletes are eating more then that.

The key insight is that you can eat more, but your body will not consume it.

And nobody is saying you can't expend more energy for shorter times. It is just that you can't sustain it over long times because of our metabolic limits.
