El cheapo paint brushes

Daily calorie requirement for a lad my size doing a manual job is over

3,000. Cornish tin miner much more.

I was given a sweeping brush by my Grandad over twenty years ago, it gets daily use and is still going strong! I have only replaced the head 5 times and the shaft 6 ;-)

Cheers

Half of the RDA of salt alone...

No, thats the Harris-Benedict Calorie Needs Formula.

You could regularly eat 10 times the RDA without any health problems. A low salt diet is far more dangerous to health.

Crumbs, that has lasted a long time!

So back to the paintbrushes......

Tis true. I used to do a sedentary job staring at a computer all day and had to be really careful what I are, now I do physical graft and a big side effect joy is that I can now eat as many cream cakes as I like

Of course. It's partly an energy in/energy out thing, but also the possible increase in metabolic rate improving energy use in general. Whether that all adds up to 3000 kcal per day is something else.

That's not always true. A small proportion of the population are sodium sensitive, and have to watch their intake. If you don't have high blood pressure, don't worry about it. If you do something that makes you hot and sweaty - such as lying on a sun lounger in the Caribbean - make sure you get enough salt, or you'll get rapidly ill.
