The Bottom line...is that.....

The bottom is very close and we arewayyyyy  below the safe line...when intake is less than 500cal/day

1. 1320/1800 calories for Sherron by the numbers
2. That lifestyle is burning an average of 1320 calories per day, so if you are consuming less than this then you  will likely lose weight. rather maintain that weight.
3. add lets not forget the Metastatic Carnivore loose in your system and you need 25% more than that...more like 1800 cal/day 
4. so so if only 3.5 big macs......

    You are a 72 year old woman, 5ft 0in / 152cm tall, with a current weight of 100.0lbs. You lead a sedentary lifestyle, and participate in the following exercise:
         15 minutes of slow walking, 2.0 mph, level ground, slow

    BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

    Your BMI
    19.6

    BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, and is often used as a general indicator of health. The "normal" BMI for an adult woman of your height is 18.5 to 24.9. This translates to a healthy weight range of 94 to 127 lbs.However, BMI does not take body composition into account. A weight above this range could still be considered healthy if your percentage body fat is less than average. For more accurate determination of body fat levels, consider using a body fat caliper.

    CALORIES BURNED

    Your Calories Burned
    Daily Energy Expenditure:  1359 kcal ( 5690 kJ) Additional Calories from Exercise:  + 23.0 kcal ( 96 kJ) Estimated Energy Requirement:  1382.0 kcal ( 5786 kJ)

    Note: Accurate determination of the Calories you burn can only be accomplished by individual physiological testing. This calculation is merely an estimate that was derived from regression formulas and data provided by these sources:

    2002, "Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids," Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine.

    Ainsworth B.E., 2002, January, "The Compendium of Physical Activities Tracking Guide," Prevention Research Center, Norman J. Arnold School of Public Health, Univ of SC.

    In the above table, the Daily Energy Expenditure includes Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), the energy consumed by daily activities, and the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF).

    This estimate represents the total daily Calories needed to maintain your current body weight. To gain or lose weight, you may need to adjust your Calories upward or downward from this amount.

Significance for normal folk

The body is always burning calories, whether you are cooking a meal, running a race or taking a nap. Even to simply maintain bodily functions, such as heart beat and breathing, your body uses calories as fuel. The amounts of calories you need each day depend on variables, such as height, weight, gender and activity levels.

Your body burns calories for a wide range of purposes, such as keeping blood pumped to organs and tissues, maintaining a steady heart beat and even controlling internal temperature. The body naturally burns calories all day just to keep you alive and functioning. Extra movements cause a greater caloric burn beyond what's needed just to keep your body functioning.

Functions for normal folk

You can use your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, to determine how many calories your body burns at rest. BMR accounts for 60 to 75 percent of your caloric burn for the day, notes the Mayo Clinic. You can calculate your BMR using a formula based on gender, age, height and weight. However, it does not take into consideration your body's composition. And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn.

Considerations for normal folk

Two other factors help determine how many calories your body burns during the day. Physical activity of any kind, such as running or walking, will boost your caloric burn. Also, your body uses calories to process the food you eat. Digesting, absorbing and transporting food accounts for about 10 percent of your daily calorie burn, the Mayo Clinic notes.

Misconceptions

Many people think the only way to burn calories is to spend hours a day on the treadmill. Calories do not have to come from breaking a sweat. Everything you do during the day, from shopping to making your bed, burns calories. Still, the more your body moves, the more calories it must burn. Having an active job, such as one that requires you to stand on your feet, will use more calories than working at a desk.

So why not a feeding tube ...

1.  see this link: here

Most "EOL" patients have little appetite and can’t maintain enough oral intake to support their caloric needs. Total protein levels and albumin indicate the level of nutritional deficit. As EOL nears, the body begins to shut down and nutritional needs decrease dramatically. At this time, consider offering the patient a favorite food if he or she can still swallow.

Many families fear the EOL patient is starving to death. (In reality, the body no longer requires nutrition and hunger is suppressed.) Some families become so concerned they consider gastrostomy tube placement to provide liquid nutrition. For certain patients, a feeding tube can be useful—for example, a patient who’s had an acute stroke and is expected to make some level of meaningful recovery but not to regain the swallowing reflex. However, for most EOL patients, a feeding tube only provides liquids the body can no longer use, resulting in edema that can cause painful swelling of the extremities.
