Yes it's a big breakfast but if a normal diet is 2000-2500 calories per day, 820 for 1 meal doesn't seem that weird.

- stefan_ 5y agoPeople in home office should probably be on 1600-1800.

- the-pigeon 5y agoHow does one's office environment relate to how many calories they consume? If you lift weights or do other strenuous exercise 3-4k calories a day is needed. The trick with calories is just to not consume more than you are using if you don't want to gain weight.
- bordercases 5y agoYour metabolism slows down when you are sufficiently sedentary, and then gradually your muscles atrophy, lowering your calorie requirements further.
- oh_sigh 5y agoIf you're a 50 year old, 5' tall, 100 lbs lady, then sure. The basal metabolic rate for a 30 year old male who is 5'10" and 160lbs is 1700 calories. So that's how many calories they burn by merely existing and breathing and being warmblooded. Your argument is that someone working from home only uses a max of an extra 100 calories a day over BMR? Doubtful.
