How many MPG's does your body get?
http://www.thecarconnection.com/mpg-quiz/index.html

Me: Your body gets around 23.5 miles per gallon!
This is the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan

1. It said 37, however on several of them I had to guess.
And the fact that the only exercise they mentioned was running kinda throws things off a bit.

3. Sorry, typical shit survey created by people with no idea what nutrition is.
How many times do you eat? Are you diabetic? I don't think I saw the word "calorie" once, which would be, btw the measure needed.

For the record, I got a 39, and as a vegan sports nutritionist bodybuilder, it gave me a good laugh.

4. Heh. And as an overweight guy who doesn't eat nearly as healthy as I should...
somehow I'm only 2 mpg below you. :P

5. I got a 29.
I eat really well, but I have IBS (well controlled via diet, but they didn't ask that) and asthma (ditto.)

Oh, and while I love actual physical work, I can't think of anything more tedious and unappealing than riding a bike to nowhere. Except maybe walking to nowhere or climbing stairs to nowhere. Or twisting yourself up into a pretzel in a hot room, which is what my professor does for fun. So I get my activity in the course of having a life, I don't schedule my day around it.

I am, for the record, ridiculously healthy.
