Question 79

Let $f(n, k)$ be the number of ways of distributing $k$ candies to $n$ children so that each child receives at most 2 candies. For example, if $n=3$, then $f(3,7)=0$, $f(3,6)=1$ and $f(3,4)=6$.
Determine the value of
$$
f(2006,1)+f(2006,4)+f(2006,7)+\cdots+f(2006,1000)+f(2006,1003) .
$$
