Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

4 times at the most, probably closer to 2 times (4k-5k kcal/d) in most cases.
Honestly with plant-based you'd need to get up to 20x to start making any noticeable effect on land use.
I'm telling you athletes eat literally 4x as much and it being vegan food isn't going to magically make protein and carbs appear from their asses
No, but 1) 1800 calories of animal products have more land use and embodied labor and energy than 7500 calories of plants, so veganism is a much better approach than "don't be an athlete because it's wasteful" nonsense, and 2) we're nowhere near the point where penny-pinching each other's calories or trying to justify them to the public is worth doing. The carrying capacity is way above the global population, even if we were to set aside half of all land as nature preserves.
