If anyone’s interested in the mathematical breakdown of how Oar Bree’s tube feeding is impossible for survival (let alone maintaining her weight and muscle mass), here it is:

She uses Kate’s Farms formula, which has a maximum of 1.5 calories per ml (and ironically is not approved for the Entralite Infinity pump she uses, it can really damage the pump). She has lots of photos of her pump running, and has never had the rate at anything higher than 35 ml/hr (comparable to the normal rate of a baby or toddler), though more often she’s at 15-25 ml/hr, the most recent we saw was 20. And then she claims to run it 24 hours a day, which is physically impossible as it has to be off to get it set up and for showering. So really 23 hours at most, although we’ve seen plenty of posts where she’s not hooked up.

But taking all the maximum possible amounts, the most calories she’d be getting is 1.5 calories per ml, 35 ml/hr, 23 hours a day, for a whopping total of 1,207.5 calories a day, about half of what someone her age/weight/activity level needs.

And with her most recent rate, that’s still only a max of 690 calories.
