depends on how fat one is.
a pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories.
that's 7,700 calories per kilo.
you can survive at the most basic level on about 500 calories a day. 1,200 calories to be able to move.
one dies when reaching 56% of the ideal body weight-- that's way after starvation has ensued (that's when you start eating away your own protein instead of burning fat).
i don't know how many calories are in that missing 54% of body fat, as proteins only give 4 calories per gram, as opposed to fats which yield 9 grams. (proteins would yield 6 calories but 2 calories are spent on turning proteins into fuel).
so you could do the math and add the calories of 54% of your lean body weight, add the calories of your adipose tissue, divide them by 500 (if you choose to be bedridden), or by 1,200 (if you want to walk around), and you've got a pretty good estimate.
me, i'm ready for the gulag!
