That’s a pretty high estimate. r/AskHistorians have had various posts about this and all seem to agree it was likely closer to 4-5,000 kcals a day.

This post in particular has some good detail about diet in the British Isles in late Medieval times. With some links in the comments that go down that rabbit hole into medieval farming as well as diets for Templars.
