Soldiers dying of dysentery during a siege is normal, stupid. They had no salt.

I knew you would go there and that's why I added the second quote where the caution is particularly about consuming fat - not salt or carbs. Dysentery has nothing to do with salt nor does diarrhea. Lack of salt can cause cramps, vomiting and nausea, not diarrhea.

I'm well aware. This method does not work with scallops, which have less than half the fat of shrimp.

Where do you get that info from? I've checked it and scallops contain about 0.6g fats in a 100g serving while shrimp is half that.

you> Dysentery has nothing to do with salt nor does diarrhea. Another spectacularly stupid statement that can get you killed. See oral rehydration salts.

What kind of inverted logic and strawmaning is that? One loses salts and electrolytes through diarrhea of course and lack of salt is dangerous. But it doesn't follow that lack of salts leads to diarrhea. You can't switch cause for effect like that, it's nonsensical. Diarrhea is not a symptom of a salt deficient diet.

Raw scallops: 0.5g/100g https://www.nutritionix.com/food/raw-scallops

Raw shrimp: 1g/100g https://www.nutritionix.com/food/raw-shrimp

So it's half, I was looking at cooked macros before. Still, with 70g of shrimp you get 0.7g of fats from it and together with the rice that's like 1g of fat per day. Even with the best quality and nutritional value you can't get much higher. Again, an adult needs more than 10 times that. This is not sustainable.

You're so bad faith it's not even worth it. So what is it - did they die because of the dysentery outbreak (which is bacterial) or because of rabbit starvation or because they lacked salt? If it was just dysentery and salt why is it in an article about rabbit starvation?

No, more than.

Not according to the source I provided. You just cherry picked the source you like better. Unless you measure the exact amount of fats in the shrimp you consume you can't know which one is closer.

Another naked assertion, conveniently without any specific falsifiable prediction. Because you know you don't know what you're talking about.

As if one cannot cross check this. Here are a couple of papers, that took 1min of research:

So if you're following a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, your target range for total fat is 44 to 78 grams a day. Of that, saturated fat should make up no more than 22 grams.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/fat-grams-how-to-track-fat-in-your-diet/

%E refers to the percentage of energy, based on the total daily energy recommendations, coming from a specific macronutrient (fat, carbohydrate or protein). For a normal-weight woman/man, with respective daily energy recommendations of 2,000/2,500 kcal, a recommendation of 35%E coming from total fat is equivalent to an intake of approximately 78 g/97 g of fat.

https://www.eufic.org/en/whats-in-food/article/facts-on-fats-dietary-fats-and-health

So yeah, I lowballed it - you'd need much more than 10 times the fats you get now. It's hilarious you didn't even bother to research this. I don't care much for WHO or FDA recommendations too but what did you base your austere diet on and how do you determine if you get all the nutrients required off of it?
