Calories

I learned today that coma patients are given 1200 calories intravenously each day to keep them alive.

Many people struggling with restrictive eating disorders (like me) have intakes of less than 1000 calories a day, and tend to be at least slightly more active than the typical coma patient.

We're told to take in between 2000 and 2500 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight.

I found a calorie counting gadget (as recommended as part of the recovery process) and have determined that so far today I have taken in 360 calories, with about 350 of those coming from the sugar in my tea.
