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: Nazca Redlines 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: Nazca Redlines 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 2:48 PM Author: Nazca Redlines I'm reasonably confident the 900,000 calories wouldn't come close to killing me. Better question is how much lasting damage would it do.

Date: May 5th, 2026 1:02 PM Author: gay of hormuz 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: Medieval Pilgrimage Architecture #BrianJacques, tp 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. |

|
Date: May 5th, 2026 2:49 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Definitely safer and better for your health. 900 calories is still plenty to live on and get sufficient nutrition to function without organ damage if you're smart about it.
I don't know about easier, though. It would take a lot of discipline. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 4:36 PM Author: busy beaver 9000 would take a lot of discipline! personally, carefully portioning my food each day and not eating more seems easier than having to gorge and gorge day after day no matter how bad i feel (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863878&forum_id=2id.#49867647) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 2:25 PM Author: bloomington (🦬) I'd take the under. I could stand to lose some weight.
I'd do OMAD for discipline. The meal would be fibermaxxed, pretty much just beans and veggies. |

Date: May 5th, 2026 2:52 PM Author: Nazca Redlines That's a lot of beans and veggies. You could easily have a good, filling 600 calorie beans and veggies meal, and save 300 calories for an apple and a couple almonds another time of day.

Date: May 5th, 2026 2:53 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Explain why and explain your strategy. Limiting to 900 calories a day would not be easy. 3/4 of Americans are overweight or obese, when all it would take to not be overweight or obese is limiting oneself to 2000 calories a day.

|
Date: May 5th, 2026 3:02 PM Author: niggerstomper59 (✅🍑) It would be difficult. I don't have a coherent considered strategy yet but I imagine it would involve a lot of egg whites and bone broth. But I know that I absolutely could not and would not want to do 9000 calories a day for 100 days, imagine what irreparable damage that would do to a person.

Minimal risk + lots of muscle loss but better than the alternative |
