I've always been curious, do Hobbits have crazy high metabolism or extremely poor digestive systems? All those calories must be going somewhere, right?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I assume it's a crazy high metabolism. Smaller creatures generally need to eat proportionally more than their larger counterparts. Taken to an extreme, some small birds need to consume their own body weight in food every day.

More surface area per volume on a hobbit.

Wouldn’t be as many calories as an average American.

Also the movies are at least %95 walking the Extra long editions %99.9 so they probably burn every single calorie.

Yeah, but this is something normal for Hobbits, notably Mary and Pippin, who are nobles and normally wouldn't do anything active all day.

The average hobbit supposed to be fit.

Some would describe them as plump. Personally I think spherical is the better term

No, they're just fucking the day away between meals, burning calories as they go.
