>>21698That seems accurate enough, but it begs the question: what does this person's daily diet look like if they're eating 8000 calories per day, mostly from a college cafeteria?
Here's a representative example:
Breakfast:
- Caramel Macchiato - 260cal
- Short stack of pancakes with 1/4 cup syrup and 1tbsp butter - 650cal
- Cup of hash browns with 1tbsp ketchup - 510 cal
- Two fried eggs - 200cal
- two sausage links - 140 cal
- Two slices of toast with butter - 250cal
meal total: 2010cal
subtotal: 2010cal
Lunch:
- Double cheeseburger: 500cal
- 32oz soda: 370cal
- Large french fries with ketchup: 500cal
- Fuck it, another double cheeseburger: 500cal
meal total: 1870cal
subtotal: 3880cal
Dinner:
- Infant sized beef burrito: 1450cal
- Cup of refried beans with cheese: 270cal
- Cup of Mexican rice: 210cal
- Diet soda: 0cal
- Cup of macaroni and cheese, because this is a cafeteria and there are no rules: 310cal
Meal total: 2241cal
Subtotal: 6121cal
Other:
Cake donut "for the road": 300cal
5 cans of busch light after class: 475cal
1 cup of rocky road ice cream with a bit of chocolate syrup for dessert: 544cal
Half a bag of cheetos for a light snack (roughly 3.5oz): 560cal
Meal total: 1879cal
Grand total: 8000cal
Roughly this amount of food, every day. Very close to being impossible, but pretty hot to think about.
Assuming that she's starting at a weight of like 250, the school semesters are somewhere around 250 days per year, she eats like this on weekends but not holiday breaks, and taking a conservative average estimate of 9 lbs gained per week, she'd be 570lbs by the end of year one.
