Try getting into biking. I burn 1500-2000 calories (I'm not a small dude) in like 2 hours of road cycling. It's relatively easy on the body compared to running as a bonus.

Are you sure about that number?

According to my tracker, I burn about 1000kcal per 60km, and I'm an normal dude. You probably won't average 50km/h over 2h or something.

The key here is elevation. I'm 183 cm and weigh 95 kilos, and I live in the Alps. For sure, I'm not always hitting those numbers, but throw a couple of big climbs in there and it starts to make sense.
