Hypo: Over the next 100 days, eat under 90,000 calories or over 900,000 calories
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 5th, 2026 12:51 PM Author: wine massive mother A genie is making you an offer you can't refuse: Over the next 100 days, you must either (a) consume less than 90,000 calories in total or (b) consume more than 900,000 calories in total. If you consume between 90,000 and 900,000 calories, you will die.
No cheating by getting nutrion via IV, vomitting, getting your stomach pumped, or anything like that.
Which do you choose? What's your strategy? |

Date: May 5th, 2026 1:00 PM Author: wine massive mother Under sounds pretty tough. Are you sure?
For the 900,000, you could burn a good number off by working out, espcially in the early days before you start getting too fat. And it's only 100 days. I think the under 90,000 would be much healthier for 99% of people, though. |

Date: May 5th, 2026 1:02 PM Author: unhinged parlor deer antler the "calorie" measures an infinestimally small amount of heat. when people talk about "calories" they really mean "kilocalories" ie 1,000 calories. But no one says kilocalories, instead they say Calories (capital C). One Calorie = 1,000 calories. The genie in op, by neglecting to capitalize Calorie, accidentally made the hypo trivially easy if you pick the over (and certain death if you pick the under).
Anyway this is your pedantic lawyer moment of the day, I'm going to go italicize some commas |

Date: May 5th, 2026 5:02 PM Author: Fear-inspiring sandwich crackhouse LMAO, just looked it up and even at my peak level of activity in college, I'd max out in the 3000 - 4000 a day range on a high protein diet (I've embraced being a twink since then, so I'm around 2500 a day these days if I had to guess)
So like ohnoes tp said, you'd need to be a Michael Phelps training lifestyle to consume the 9000 a day level, but the 900 a day works short term just living a quiet lifestyle with mostly long walks for exercise, doing meditative fasts etc. |

I don't know about easier, though. It would take a lot of discipline. |

but yeah eating healthy and staying hydrating probably goes along way to minimize the risk |

Date: May 6th, 2026 8:16 AM Author: Green Stimulating Toilet Seat Generalized Bond Would there be an official running calorie count you could check daily? Or have to track everything yourself, risking it being very imprecise, and finding out only at the end?
