Just to clarify, when you ask, "...can I burn 2400 calories?", are you asking if that's possible, or if you should be burning that many? Are you saying you actually burn that many calories per day between exercise and your matabolism, or through exercise alone? If the latter is true, I am just a little blown away, and you put my exercise routine to shame!
As long as you create a calorie deficit through consuming fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. In order to not be too extreme, you might shoot for dropping 1 - 2 pounds per week (a 1-lb. loss after one week is achieved by creating a daily deficit of 500 calories). Given the numbers you've shared, you are eating 400 fewer calories per day than you burn, which totals 2800 calories per week; one pound equals 3500 calories, so you can adjust accordingly. Does this help answer your q?
