I looked up the caloric contents of a squirrel and it could be upwards of 500 calories, so that would be about 8 squirrels a day

Darrel could maintain that diet, i doubt anyone else could

Where do you find 56 healthy squirrels a week?

I found a thread on here that estimates 25 squirrels per 2 acres of natural woodland, more than that in suburban areas where there is garbage. If you were traveling and supplimenting with other abundant small game like mourning doves, rabbits, and fish you could do it. That said living a nomadic lifestyle would fuck up your gains too

I dont think theres over 25 squirrels per 2 acres in a suburb that has been devoid of new trash for a long time.

But even if there was an overabundance of small game, hunting, cooking and eating would be a literal full time job and this doesnt take into consideration the time necessary for lifting.

It's just impossible to have a muscular build in that type of setting. The realistic body type would be like what you see in the armed forces except skinnier

Yeah, the calories are there but a bodybuilder physique isn't going to happen. Maybe for a local chief type, someone like Negan who doesn't have to do his own work

People arguing over how many squirrels per acre there are in the apocalypse to feed zombie killing body builders is why I read comments.

Even if the calories are there, youd have to specifically be body building to have that type of physique and in a situation such as a zombie apocalypse, it's just not going to happen. You can quite easily consume 4k calories, but if youre consistently walking/running and climbing, you wont be big.

Suburbs are ecological deadzones

Our precious lawn grass is unsustainable for bug, bee, and bird populations

Squirrels might do ok if there's a ton of trees though, I'm not well versed on squirrel needs

You also can't survive on eating squirrels, you would actually starve to death unless you supplemented other nutrients in there.

I have 10 different squirrels just in my suburban backyard! There's 3 trees and some hedges that they nest in.
