I have been sitting here thinking something for the last few days and thought i would ask. What would be the harm in eating a good amount of food that had very few calories. Like lets say I ate 2 dozen egg whites and a bag of salad every day over the course of 2 weeks. I know I would be starving my body of calories...but I wouldn't go hungry (if that makes any sense?)
24 egg whites has less than 300 calories, and a bag of salad im not sure, maybe 100? That only adds up to 400 calories, but if you think about it that is a good amount of food to consume in a day. Would my metabolism (at first) slow down and then stop....(and then probably other vitals?)
Just looking to throw a wrench in the equation...why does your body need so many calories if you can eat healthy foods (and lots of them) to sustain your hunger?
