Remember that mice models are fairly bad brown townogues for human biology. I'll need more substantial evidence before I start cutting out my morning Big Mac.

"assuming"

Neventii · April 26, 2016, 06:51:14 PM

do endurance runners die really quick then because their calorie intake is massive even though they run like 4 hours a day?

Tezuni 2.0 · April 26, 2016, 07:27:41 PM

think of caloric restriction as "adding" time on your life if you want
and eating the average caloric intake per day as "default" not "dying quicker"

so, no, runners aren't going to die quicker than someone eating the average caloric intake

This is a widely assumed phenomena backed by anecdotal evidence from centenarians and implications from animal testing.
So, not really a far fetched idea at all.

SHOW ME THE HOLES NICK

"if you eat a burger you will take a third of a day off your life"
Ur words not mine

Tezuni 2.0 · April 26, 2016, 07:49:14 PM

That was clearly in a joking tone, but the idea is not a hole at all, the math even adds up.
The difference between full calories per day and 2/3 calories per day is literally ~800 calories in that spreadsheet.
The calculated time for those 800 calories is about 7.7 hours which rounds to 8 hours.
There's 24 hours in a day. 8/24 is 3.

That's 1/3.

Ya that would work if every humans body was the exact same but they aren't

At best this system is a rough rough rough VERY rough estimate

aren't we like way biger than mice
