Could you survive on 1x can of tuna + apple a day with unlimited water?

[Crumbles]

And how healthy would it be?

If you are trying to loose weight or go with some body cleansing ritual then you can keep the diet for about a month or less. Over 12 consecutive days is not recommended because you will start eating into certain essential nutrients of the body.

You can survive up to 30 consecutive days without food and a fair bit longer if you ration your food and have a lot of body fat. You must do a lot of muscle building exercise to prevent lost of muscles. For example, if you don't eat anything for 3 days and have a massive feast of 5 tuna cans and 5 apples on the 4th day then it will force your body to burn the fat reserve while greeting build up your muscles.

You could survive for a couple weeks, a few months maybe.
Then you would likely die from organ failure due to malnutrition.
To "survive", you would have to be looking at like 5 apples + 5 tuna cans a day but you would still develop some nutritional deficiencies.

Surviving off only two foods would be VERY hard without developing deficiencies.
I think the "best" possible combination is spinach and sardines (in oil, whole with bones) which would cover all essential nutrients, but you would still have to look at some thing like... 6~8 cans of sardines and about 200+ grams of spinach a day.

I suppose you could survive on it seeing as it gives you protein, fiber, vitamin C, omega 3 and other vitamins. However, it would not be healthy. If you were stranded on a desert island and that was all you had to eat, you wouldn't die for a few weeks. But it is not healthy to do. Tuna is fish, and because fish naturally have high levels of mercury, you should only eat a few servings of fish a week. This would lower your blood sugar to a dangerous amount over time because you would be starving. For a grown young male, you shouldn't do this.

Very unhealthy considering humans need a variety of proteins, carbs and nutrients to be healthy.

For one, it isn't enough calories unless you are planning on spending all day lying in bed sleeping. For a real human, this would not be sufficient enough to live on.

[DizzyDesii]

I ont like tuna. I barey eat apples and i hate water haha. But i guess i could live off the apples and water. I'll call it homemade applejuice, although i hate apple juice to haha

[IceCubedude]

in theory a can of tuna is aobut 100-200 calories, dependin water or oil, apple is about 60 calories so can a human being survive for 150 calories a day? yes but i think , 1- you're gonna be super hungry most of the time and, 2- in few days your body will start to suffer some serious consequeces , so is is it adviced? no

[JimRSmith]

I'd expect so, at least for a short time, but you'd lose weight pretty fast, and it wouldn't be healthy, no.

[madhatters4]

that sounds like you would be lacking a ton of nutrients. i mean you could probably survive but not be very healthy

[JudgmentDay]

Depend how many oz. the can of tuna is. I can endure it for short term, but I know my stomach would feel like crap while I'm on this diet.

You aren't trying to go on Christian Bales Diet for the Machinist, tell me you aren't.
Cause Christian Bale had half a dozen nutritionists to help him.
You will probably end up in the hospital

[CabernetSauvignon]

wha tyou describe is only about 300 calories

you should eat at least 1600 calories at day just so your organs can function without damage

over time you'll get heart damage if you dont have enough fat on you

[BeastRB]

Hell no I couldn't survive that I can't live without beef. And that would be extremely unhealthy. Your body needs more nutrients than what's in apples and tuna.

[TryingToWriteBooks]

1. tuna has tons of mercury and mercury bioaccumulates in your brain
2. probably, for quite a while

[Anonymous]

that is a cutting diet.
you do that when you have to loose a lot of weight for a weigh in.
it is not healthy.

[Opinion Owner]

then like a week before the fight, you'd tamper the water off as well if you are barely the max weight for your weigh class.

[Anonymous]

Broo like it or not you have to eat to lose fat, u can't just eat a small ass lunch like that everyday

[Opinion Owner]

Oh and to answer no that would be to low on food intake for gonna need more

[RedRobin]

How big is the can of tuna?

[SweetNB1tchy7]

yes u could but u would be quite skinny

[hannahbanana11]

Yeah but I would be mad hungry, lol

[Wingedz]

Yes, you can. but bad for health for long time.

[Adigelunar]

yeah but i don't think that it is healthy

[CT_CD]

I don't think that would be healthy

[jman46241]

I would rather not
