The puzzle, a hint.

Yesterday morning I posted a puzzle .  I put up pictures of food — such as a dozen eggs, a pair of buttered baked potatoes, a giant bowl of guacamole, 48 oz of whole milk — and asked "Why am I interested in these things?"

After  doing some homework, commenter Amy F of Against The Grain was getting pretty warm — she figured out that all these items have about the same number of calories. 

Eight hundred seventy-five calories, thereabouts.  (Plus or minus a few.)

Which still leaves open the question… Why am I interested in eight hundred seventy-five calories?

UPDATE:  CJ of Light and Momentary, in the comments, is the closest.  But I didn't get that number in the same way she suggests.

UPDATE AGAIN:  Actually, CJ, I was thinking of just plying you with the six-pack.  That last you for a couple of hours?

UPDATE AGAIN AGAIN:  Just in case this isn't perfectly clear:  I am not pregnant.

  1. Difference in average daily consumption before and after? Amt of extra calories needed to sustain your surprise triplet pregnancy? You’re inviting me for a visit and putting me on short rations?
