"If you burned energy at the same rate as a hummingbird, how much of your
favorite food (by weight) would you need to eat per day? Assuming you are
awake 16 hours each day, how much food would you need to eat per hour?"
This group of girls is about an average of 70 pounds per girl. So, that
would mean an average fifth grade girl would have to eat between 105 pounds
to 210 pounds of food per day. You would have to eat 6.5 pounds to 13 pounds
of food an hour.
So - if we wanted to exclusively eat cupcakes, we would have to eat 78 to
156 cupcakes in ONE hour. And then keep that pace up for another 15 hours.
According to one resource, about 8 bagels are in a pound. So we would have
to eat 52 bagels to 104 bagels an hour.
If we just wanted to have sweet breath and only eat Tic Tacs, we would have
166 to 332 boxes an hour. There are 37 Tic Tacs in each box - so that means
6,142 to 12,284 tic tacs. We would not be worried about bad breath!
