-In Chris McCandless' situation, he was a very healthy young man. He was active and had a BMI of 22.5. Before he went into the wild, Chris was a healthy 140 lbs. When he was found dead, he weighed a brutal 67 pounds. He lost 73 pounds total going from 140 to 67 pounds.
-To lose one pound, he would've had to get rid of 3,500 calories. He needed to get an average 2158 calories per day but he got around 1,400 which means he lost about 760 calories a day. Losing one pound would've taken him around four or five days total. To lose 73 pounds, it would've taken Chris about 337 days which means he couldn't have died from starvation in just 113 days, it would've taken him more time to do so. Chris would've needed help from some sort of poison in order to die so suddenly.
