ScruffyDux, to actuallyautistic

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.

brains create 42% more information at rest.

This could equate to 497 to 639 calories just to power our resting brain, let alone when we're hyperfocused or overstimulated.

Gee, why do we all crave simple, quickly digested, glucose rich foods? Mystery.

@ScruffyDux @actuallyautistic diet/nutrition is a completely different spectrum, and just as varied and nuanced.

Unfortunately, it also get as much support and reasearch as autism, so many of us suffer even more.

"Just lose/gain weight" is very similar to "Just be 'normal'"
