    If you burned energy at the same rate as a hummingbird. how much of your
    favorite food would you need to eat per day? Assuming you are awake 16
    hours each day, how much food would you eat per hour?

    Since my favorite is Rice Crispie Treats, I would need to eat 18.02 lbs
    of my favorite food each day, I would need to eat 1.13 lbs of my
    favorite food per hour.

    If I needed to eat that much of my favorite food, it would no longer be
    my favorite food.
