  They are about $8 for roughly 2 lbs at about 1000 calories a lb if you eat the skin and all the meat.

  That would be completely reasonable as a large meal as it is about half the daily calories for an average sized male teenager, especially if they are very active.

    Am I misreading your comment, or are you saying an average male teen needs 4000 calories a day?

    • NoPanko@feddit.uk ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If they are active then yeah, 4000 calories is not at all unusual as a teen.

        And not empty calories, that’s the important part

      Easily. From 14-17 I lived on a 5,000 calorie diet and struggled to gain weight, between marching band, PE, shop class, an avid skating hobby, a girlfriend, and growing in height. I could have easily eaten an entire chicken at the time.

      Growing takes a lot of calories.

      If you’re a bad enough dude, a whole rotisserie chicken is only one heart.

      Yeah, pretty much.

      I remember eating 4000 to 6000 calories a day in high school. I could put away two double whopper meals - large fries, large coke - in a sitting.

      Or a 16" pizza, with plenty of room for Jo-jos.

      Or 4 big plates of spaghetti, with half a loaf of garlic bread, and salad until there was no more salad to be had.

      I was scrawny. Too scrawny for high school sports. 5’9", but I didn’t break 100lbs until my senior year.

      If they are physically active, yes.

    $8 doesn’t sound that bad for Whole Foods.

    Better than eating a McDonald’s meal.

      8.99 -9.99 for conventional, and some times if they go near by date, its 50% off. or if you have discount its more.
