The tech exec who eats exactly 1,977 calories a day
No, he doesn’t.
It’s pretty much impossible to calculate EXACT calories in food you’re eating, as various foods types will have variations that are slightly larger or smaller than normal, even if you’re being meticulous with a food scale. You can get a pretty close margin, yes, but to definitively say “I eat exactly X calories every day” is a silly statement.
Maybe “My daily calorie target is X” or “I try to average X calories per day in my diet,” but you can’t be precise to the calorie.
Plus even if you could get an exact number of USDA calories (which you probably could do with hyper-processed foods) there’s no guarantee that your body would extract that exact number of usable calories because that’s a function of your individual digestive system and how it responds to certain inputs.
If you ate nothing but Soylent, it would be much easier than with real food. Soylent is likely pretty uniform.

Honestly, this is even more boring than that. This is some rich dude who has made obsessing over his health and his diet his entire life. He’s not actually DOING anything other than pretending orthorexia is 1. something he invented and 2. a substitute for a personality.
What’s this from?

His tombstone will read “He tried everything. Low-carb, no-carb, and pretending to eat exactly 1,977 calories a day.”
How it this technology related? Is it because the person of interest is a tech exec? I don’t think a person’s diet (or their oddly justified and unfounded blood transfusions) really counts as tech news
The article is a pseudo advertisement.

Bruh. I didn’t believe it but yep. “His routine also briefly included receiving blood plasma donations from younger people, including his teenage son at one point”
LMFAO I figured that was just overt satire. What even is this timeline?!
Also, the Simpsons did it.
I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt somebody would come up in here with a Gavin Belsen reference, and I was not disappointed
Why are these people all such weirdos?
Funny. He looks older than 45.
Yeah, though some of that’s genetics too. I’m a couple years younger than him and honestly think I look at least a couple of years younger than him. I eat fairly well, but definitely have occasional donuts and frequent pizza.
BTW: this was my first ever comment on Lemmy and first ever reply! Long live Lemmy!
Is it !technology when some tech exec does or says something or why did you post this, OP?
Does he not work out at all? I’m a regular sized guy (5’11, 165 lbs) and I’d be losing like 12 pounds per month if I was eating 2k calories per day. I don’t do much cardio either, and I’d imagine that’d be pretty important for improving your heart and lung health.
Maybe the secret is eating exactly 1977 calories.
And he will likely die at a normal age that has far more to do with his grandparent genes that what he eats.
Sure, but that’s because he’s not shortening his life with bad diet.
