>>1079967>that's a low estimateso I got curious and read more about caloric sustenance. Our basal metabolic rates isn't as clear cut as 1000 calories a day and you're right, it is a very low estimate. It's something I've taken as fact since it was information pushed from higher ups on nutritional education during my time in the military. It's information I've passed down numerous times during PT and heard it as a general guideline regarding diet.
