How many days can you go WITHOUT WATER AND FOOD???!


Question:

How many days can you go WITHOUT WATER AND FOOD???

I have never known the answer.


Answers:

Food is the easy one. You can go at least a month or so w/ o food . Do the math: 1lb of body fat has 3500 metabolizable calories ,muscles have about half of that. If you have a BMR of 2000 calories it will take your body awhile a while to cannibalize itself
Water is a little trickier because to some degree it's environmentally dependent.
Hot & dry and cold & dry will both suck water out of you quickly
My best guess is 72 hrs.
