Reply to comment by cloisteredsaturn in ELI5: How does "acquired taste" work? And how are some tastes able to be acquired no problem, while others will never be acquired? by PuzzleBrain20
I got food poisoning a year or so back and I threw up something the color of Gatorade (almost neon yellow). I think it was bile but I really did not expect that color to come out of me.

Reply to comment by Freedom-No-781 in ELI5 - When losing weight, why is it common to hear "burn more than you consume" in reference to calorie intake. if you consume" 1000 calories, how do you burn 1500? by Freedom-No-781
You burn calories by living. If you exercise, you burn more. If you consume zero calories you will starve because you burn 1500-2500 each day (depends on the person) by living. If you know your basal metabolic rate (how many calories you burn per day) and you eat 500 calories less than that number, you’ll lose about a pound per week.
