I think that pittance of calories is only the surface benefit. Consistent activity keeps your metabolism much higher, meaning you burn more calories throughout the day even when you aren’t moving.

Absolutely, very good to keep things burning. It's also good to not need to burn them.

We can be remarkably efficient with the right conditioning. I eat once/day and would do less if not for literally boredom.

I do next to nothing physically all day. I'm fine, I just don't need a lot of upkeep. I have all the metabolism I need!

My health may be suffering for it, but I enjoy getting back a solid chunk of the day. Eating is such a time sink... now it's exercise too?!

I know it's nuts, I have an unhealthy relationship with food lol. Even the social side, it's hard to explain but people get mad when you don't want to eat with them.
