Calorie burn would also depend on age and speed.
I'd say somewhere around 900 ish as a rough guess, but it depends on a lot of other factors.
If you're feeling crap, its a combination of things.
What are you eating before this?
Whats your hydration like before, during and after?
Plus, bear in mind that you have nearly covered a half marathon. You gave your body two days rest then pumped another 3 miles into it. Poor nutrition and hydration between would leave you feeling anything but optimal.
Congratulations by the way, very few people I know ever go further than 8-10 miles.

haha yeah i was going to say i don't think i could only eat 900 a day! What about on my days off...how many calories should i shoot for? and how many days off a week?
i usually do: Monday-Wed(sometimes Friday)6am- elliptical machine for 30 mins...a little bit of lifting
Tuesday-Thursday 6am run then body pump at 12:15
Saturday can either be a run or walk and sunday is usually a long run.

Are you training for something? That is a ton of working out!
I have similar intensity of training and the 2000 on long run days is about right. I also can feel like crap very quickly if #1 I'm not hydrated enough before I go out and #2 I don't drink during or what I should after that long run. For me its all about the water (I do a sports drink with simple carbs after my long runs). If I miss any of that I can feel VERY sick, very fast. My appetite is non-existant on my long run days so I do shakes and calorie dense stuff so I don't have to actually eat much. I take 1-2 days off a week and on those days I really don't change my calories very drastically. I find that if I keep up good nutrition on those days I recover much faster and can be much stronger when I get back to it the following day. I'm sure your metabolism is burning high speed round the clock. I wouldn't worry about the off day calories too much. Personally I'd shoot for 1700-1800 on regular gym days, 2000+long run days and maybe 1600 for off days.
