Sorry, but I call BS on that. if only 1,680 calories are needed to sustain normal energy then WTF is the point of Daily Values? If I consumed calories according to this "team" I wouldn't make it...and no, I'm not fat[/quote]
According to my height and build, my nutritionist said that to maintain a 'healthy' weight I'm really only supposed to live off about 1000-1200 calories a day. I'm sure I could swing that if I were a raw vegan who doesn't even eat fruit or most vegetables (like I'm supposed to), but I could've sworn that's borderline of anorexia.
And Daily Values is what got us in this everybody's a fatass mess in the first place.
