I'll have to watch that .... because I think I had noticed it, like, "wow, how did I get up to 2300kcal so fast today!"
> be about 7-8 kcal/hr. I suppose that means 20-30 kcal per day at most
7x20= 140 cal
8 x 30 = 240 cal
How do you come up with "only 20-30kcal more per day?

The question is for how many hours do you have the additional burn?
The additional burn is known as EPOC. Very intense weight training is much better for this afterburn effect than aerobic training which is what the article discussed.
