per day as well as two or three caffeinated sodas, and two to four glasses of water per day.

healthy diet. He is filling his body with foods that are not good for him.He needs to lower his calorie intake and start
eating healthier.He eats 3024 calories a day and expends around 2774 calories per day meaning he has a surplus of 250
calories, on average, each day.
