Externet Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) What would you make a 24 hour perfect meal with, (simple common ingredients, nothing fancy) for the average 70Kg? person on average 21st century activity, to hopefully not pack any belly fat, not feel hungry, not lacking anything necessary nor recommended ? -Ignore if eating the same daily is boring, this is not about pleasant flavor, is about pure nutrition- Such same meal to be consumed in several portions along 24 hours. Guessy example: Two litres of chicken soup, containing 100 grams of boneless chicken, 50 grams of cheese, 100 grams of vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, peas, corn, potatoes, yams, greens, rice... Would such guess work ? Now, do your proposal with science. Hundreds pushed/claimed by dieticians on the web, but make your own. NASA for sure has its own recipe. ==================== In the 'General' paragraph here ----> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response Kcal are mentioned. Is that really kcal or cal. ?

Strange Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Kcal are mentioned. Is that really kcal or cal. ? It is kilo-calories. What is referred to by the general public as a calorie is actually a kilo-calorie. I have no idea why. -Ignore if eating the same daily is boring, this is not about pleasant flavor, is about pure nutrition- Which makes the question completely pointless.

imatfaal Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 There is an urban myth (it was circulating whilst I was at university and many people were scrimping on food) that beans on toast with a glass of milk is pretty close to covering all your nutrutional bases - I have never looked into it. First addition that I would have thought was necessary would be an odd marmite sandwich or pint of beer to get the wholesome goodness that is in brewer's yeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 For me it would be sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, toast, tomato with a vat of coffee and orange juice. Not sure about the "not pack any belly fat" bit... but 2 mins of planking a day or some gentle exercise will sort that out. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Such same meal to be consumed in several portions along 24 hours. I think this is the key. You can come up with some really healthy casseroles, stews, and soups with fresh ingredients that will be nutritionally superior for you. How those meals affects your glycemic index/glycemic load seems to play a big factor. You can have some fats and sugars if your meals are really small and you eat half a dozen times a day.

DrP Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 When I was a postgrad, I used to get paid every 3 months.... towards the end of one quarter I was REALLY skint and had to go away for a week to do some experiments on a piece of kit that we did not have at our uni (clean rooms, e-beam writers and SEMs at the Rutherford labs)... I had enough to cover my petrol and the B&B. All I ate for the whole week was egg and bacon in the mornings and some fruit that was provided by the B&B... I used to take some of the fruit out with me for lunch. By the end of the week I sick and tired of eggs and bacon, but would have pretty much eaten anything you offered me as I was starving, but it kept me alive and sustained me through a full working week. lol. The weekend I got back (JUST made it back on the fuel I had left) we went to a conference at Leeds Uni with our group... the opening banquet was 5 courses.... One of the most enjoyable meals of my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 sick and tired of eggs and bacon I've never seen these words together like this before. Do you have any evidence, besides anecdotes, this is even possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Chase Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What is referred to by the general public as a calorie is actually a kilo-calorie. I have no idea why. It's because what we consider a 'calorie' actually has 1000 calories in it, that's why it's called a kilo-calorie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't explain why it is also called a calorie ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavelcherepan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well, yes. But that doesn't explain why it is also called a calorie ... Both Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia say that there are various definitions and two different notations as cal (normal calorie) and Cal (=kcal) as a dietary calorie. Probably dietitians just couldn't be bothered learning units In a popular use of the term calorie, dietitians loosely use it to mean the kilocalorie, sometimes called the kilogram calorie, or large Calorie (equal to 1,000 calories), in measuring the calorific, heating, or metabolizing value of foods. Thus, the “calories” counted for dietary reasons are in fact kilocalories, with the “kilo-” prefix omitted; in scientific notations a capitalized Calorie is used. In other words, if a peach is listed as having 40 Calories, this indicates that that peach has actually 40,000 calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
