Summary

Rare heavy snow excites him, prompting nighttime play and nostalgic memories of cancelled school, sledging, friends, and dangerous snowball fights. After averaging 2,000–2,200 calories at roughly 45 kilograms, he targets 3,000 daily for four- to-five weeks, hoping to reach 50. One recorded day totalled 2,360 calories, including a 1,430-calorie lunch; night-shift meals run from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Insight

Body-shame concerns become a quantified self-experiment challenging assumptions that his persistent thinness reflects insufficient eating.
