I need my bodyweight in ATP per day. Without it I literally stop functioning.

Is it time to quit?

You need like 60 kilograms of atp per day?

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Little known fact, but a single gram of the stuff can weigh as much as 20 grams!

I probably need over 100 kg.

Your body rapidly regenerates it from less immediate sources of energy, so you really process a lot of it

More like 90kg but the funny thing is I don't even weigh this much. How this is possible puzzles me every day.
