I understand what you are saying and let me state this is a broad span program, this is why I offer the option to tailor the program towards the individual through the H.E.L.L. for fat loss site. However, when talking about just this program look at these numbers...
Let's say you weight 150 pounds
14x150 is 2100 calories on your high day.
Now lets say your BMR is 1450 and this day of training would put you at a solid 1.6 in activity level if not higher depending on how hard you push yourself.
Harris B formula puts you at 2320 for that day.
See how that works out there?
You are actually taking in less that what is suggested to you by that method/scale of measuring. This day is supposed to be pretty close to maintenance or at it for most people.
Now what about a rest day?
9x150 is 1350
This is lower than the BMR itself.
So remember while the high days may seem high, there are low days that follow suit.
You can take in say 1600 calories every day or you can bounce your calories to fit with daily activity and 1600 ends up being the average. If you were to add up the ten day span and then divide by 10 you may be surprised at how low the number actually is. Though not dangerously low by any means. It lands people in a very healthy area for fat loss and leads to little if no plateaus.
In short work more eat more, work less, eat less.
Hope this is making sense.
