Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hmm, if the average American woman is eating 1800 calories and Okinawans are eating 40% less per day, then the average Okinawan woman is eating roughly 1,000 calories per day?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 In our " links " section, we link to the Okinawan studies. Looking it over, I didn't see any mention of specific calorie count, but I did find mention of Okinawan BMI's which are usually between 18 and 22. For comparison purposes, my BMI is a little over 19 and I eat anywhere from 1600 to 1800 cal a day. Also, the Okinawans are very active, which would lead to more calories to maintain BMI. If anyone hasn't read this in the " links " , it's very interesting material. on 8/27/2004 3:51 PM, bernadettepawlik@... at bernadettepawlik@... wrote: > Hmm, if the average American woman is eating 1800 calories and Okinawans are > eating 40% less per day, then the average Okinawan woman is eating roughly > 1,000 calories per day? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
