The diet of a Kitesurf Instructor

So the other day I was taking a kitesurf lesson and in a break a student mentioned about the amount of food I ate. Because we are constantly walking and running through waste deep water and needing to stay warm we eat a lot of food, here is an estimate of an average days consumption.

Meal Item Calories
Breakfast Cereal 400
Orange juice 112
Lunch Pork pie Mini / Sausage roll 162
Sandwhich
Bread - 4 slices 416
Cheese 400
Pickle 50

Cake - 70g slice 300
Cookie / Snack bar / Cereal bar 147
Apple / banana / kiwi / grapes / orange 50
Tomato 10
Scone / Muffin / Crumpet / Chocolate brownie  250
Dinner shepards pie / chilli con carne / curry / tagine 800
Apple & blackberry crumble / rubharb cobler & ice cream 750
Drink Fruit Squash 5
Snacks Biscuits 61

 A fair amount above the average (1453) and I'm often still hungry.
