Agreed. You also will be using more calories when the time comes that you're having to eat your emergency foods. You won't be sitting behind a desk in an air conditioned office exercising only your fingers on a keyboard. You'll be out scavaging and hunting for the family.
Yep, I just don’t have much respect for people who claim that 1100 calories a day is complete nutrition for an adult, it is actually the number of calories that might be given to a very obese person on a starvation diet in a hospital setting under medical supervision to produce rapid weight loss and even then it is probably low. I am big but not enormous, I am six four and about 255 and 70 years old but I don’t have a really high bodyfat percentage. A doctor has told me that even with light activity I should be eating 3000 calories a day MINIMUM just to maintain my weight. As a skinny teenager working on the farm I probably ate 5000 calories a day or more. At any rate 1100 is absurd.
