gallon of gasoline (about 4 liters) contains about 31,000 calories. If a person could drink gasoline, then a person could ride about 912 miles on a gallon of gas (about 360 km per liter). Considering that a normal car gets about 30 miles per gallon, that's pretty impressive!

To be fair, keep in mind that a car generally weighs a ton or more, while a bicycle weighs only 30 pounds. Cars also travel a lot faster than 15 mph. But it is still an interesting comparison.

You can see just how efficient the human body is if you compare your body to a car. A typical car in the United States gets between 15 and 30 miles per gallon of gasoline (6 to 12 km/L). A gallon of gas contains about 31,000 calories. That means that if a human being could drink gasoline instead of eating hamburgers to take in calories, a human being could run 26 miles on about one-twelfth of a gallon of gas (0.3 L). In other words, a human being gets more than 300 miles per gallon (120 km/L)! If you put a human being on a bicycle to increase the efficiency, a human being can get well over 1,000 miles per gallon (more than 500 km/L)!

That level of efficiency is the main reason why it is so easy to gain weight

are you suggesting that ass clowns like "stavios" who try to eat twice as much protein as they normally do are only makinbg themselves obese and not adding even an ounce of muscle mass, Adonis?

Protein is way and way overrated.

Yes, but what would have the worst impact on the environment, human or car? Gas, it's manufacturing process, transport and burning vs. xxx amount of hamburgers and their manufacturing process, with all them wind letting cows, transports, the human digestion and waist products? I say let the car do the job. Humans should do as little physical activity as possible and eat as little as possible to save our planet. More cars, less bicycles and walking.

Just think.

If you eat One 8 OUNCE Chicken Breast too many every day,provided your workouts and daily routines stay pretty much the same, You could potentially gain 39 LBS in one year just from that one Chicken Breast.

Interesting eh?

Adonis, don't you think you ought to be comparing a human being to a 200 pound car when comparing their relative mileage?

Mentzer always said a calorie was a calorie. He said too much protein would make you just as fat as too many carbs or fats. He also used to say all you needed was to have a slightly positive caloric intake to grow. There was no need to ingest thousands of extra calories a day.

Very good Adonis... Your methods of explaining..are great...

I think you realize....I'm not your biggest fan..but...I must agree.. Dieting should not be suicide.! It should be super simple..A way of life..

A pill for this..A pill for that...It's all bullshit..Drink a protein shake after this ..it's the critical time in which your body absorbs it(the protein)..

Just don't get carried away ..with trying to be 300lbs.? YOU WILL NOT LOOK LIKE RONNIE COLEMAN... Your 250 pds..WILL NOT MAKE YOU LOOK ANYTHING LIKE FLEX WHEELER! Your 210 pds. WILL NOT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE SHAWN RAY.!

Just excercise..be healthy ..be strong..be fit.. Look good by your standards..there isn't a perfect body out there...

Healthy..isn't a body type..

eat all the chicken breast, ice cream, donuts, cake and whatever else you advocate and the sad truth is you will never break 200 pounds.

does it bother you knowing you'll always be sub- par in the eyes of the bodybuilding community?

sad, isn't it...

Thats funny. I really can`t name a single Lifetime Natural really breaking 200 lbs under 6 ft. 200 is about the limit.

Looks like I am fine.

Also, you are NOT 200 lbs ripped, so what gives you any right? You are a joke just like the rest of them.

Add that to the fact that you are too stupid to realize that bodyweight of muscle is made up of only 30-40 percent of total weight in a natural human.

If you realized this, you would realize that a person bodyweight is really irrelevant anyways.
