At rest, the average body consumes 20% to 25% of the body's energy. That equates to 350 to 450 calories for the average person. The energy comes mainly from glucose.
@mobiuscog@ScruffyDux@actuallyautistic I have a bad relationship with food. Partly because body issues, partly because poverty, but big because there’s trauma associated with food prep and, importantly, NO-ONE TAUGHT ME.
You have no idea how many people I’ve had to have actual arguments with for them to stop telling me some variation of “everyone can cook” when I express frustration at how unhelpful their nutritional advice is because I lack cooking skills
Computer Science. The project was to write a compiler for Lambda Calculus.
Actually, I think mere reading, of anything that requires thought, will do it. I notice after some days of reading my guts out, my verbal acuity markedly improves.
The mind (brain?) is very much like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
I have taken so much shit for the amount of carbs, milkfat, and salt that my body needs. But but the magazines in the grocery aisle say you need to stop that!
It's sugar sugar that fucks me up, even fructose I have to be careful with.
@anomalon@actuallyautistic Me too. Earlier this year I solved a problem where I'd crash hard every day after I ate my "healthy" breakfast and "healthy" lunch with complex carbs, as per standard advice.
I learned most of us don't have enzymes to break down complex carbs, and have other metabolic difficulties, so I swapped everything for simple carbs. White bread, white potato, white noodles & pasta etc.
Suddenly, no more crashes and more stable energy than I'd had in years. We're different.
