I have asked the threadstarter for more information and - very importantly - confirmation. Delete is not always an easy button to unpress. I think most people here would be agreeable to the deletion and removal (or changing) of personal information. That said, there is the issue here - and it comes up on other forums - of creating holes in the discussion and/or deleting entire threads (if the deleted account started it). GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) can create reasonable expectations even if sites like this are not explicitly covered (not in the EU, not in California). Without doing too much technical exploration (test account and posts then testing the delete function or digging into the support forums or contacting support) a simple solution is to replace the user name with a template (UserReqDel20200217), removing any personal info accessible to admins (like email - typically that is it) and changing the password. Then any specific changes or removals can be requested (via email or some other side channel). Users can still edit most of their posts ... down to nothing.

Technically, food has calories so zero is not possible. This might apply ... and good luck?!? https://www.livestrong.com/article/523013-how-many-days-can-you-survive-without-food/ Perhaps your question could be phrased differently. For example, there have been efforts to achieve USRDAs - now DRI often - see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_Reference_Intake ... with a minimum amount of calories using real foods. If using supplements, everything changes. A simple multivitamin might get 90% of it done (micronutrients only). Also, aren't there many caloric nutrients - or are those distinct from the micronutrients. E.g., amino acids, omega fats, fiber. The Wikipedia/DRI lists those as macronutrients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_Reference_Intake#Macronutrients So, I would think ideally you want to get all of your micronutrients with your more essential (short term, at least) macronutrients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_Reference_Intake#Macronutrients There may be daily meal plans/diets from members that can be dug up if that is what you want.

Hmmmm ...

Two possibilities: "The Chitchat Room is for open discussion." So that would be fine for all topics. You could also post in the Member's Only forum ("this Community forum is for issues of general interest"). If you need to register and are having difficulty with the confirmation email or otherwise, send me an email timc[a t]crsociety.org. You could drop me a PM here, but you need to be registered for that. WRT more forums, if threads are started so fast that they drop off the first page of the index in a day or so, then maybe more topical division is required, otherwise it could just be bothersome (IMO).

Clicking on the little envelope icon to the left of each post brings up "PM this Member". But this does require that the member has posted a message publicly.

The blogging feature might be the easiest way to start that. It is possible to attach files and insert images. If we had someone who wanted to start posting recipes, it would be trivial to setup.
