I had a nice steak today. A 10 oz tenderloin. Monster sized. 😕

No room in there for anything like working, exercise, or any other productive activity, is there?

Is there such a thing? If so who determines it? Are there formulae?

yes.

your body signals for calories by our feeling of hunger. Having eaten so much, that you don't feel hunger is enough.

Drinking and driving: You may take in as much alcool, so that your bolood level it 0.3 promille that's enough. (Applies for Germany)

What exactly is this vaguely French-sounding measurement?

Is it per thousand?

In America, we traditionally use per hundred, more commonly known as per cent. In my state, Arizona, once your blood alcohol level reaches 0.08 per cent (0.04 per cent for commercial licensees), you are considered legally drunk and if you continue to drive, you can be cited for "driving while intoxicated" or "driving under the influence".

How does this compare with your measurement?

Please enlighten us.

In Australia it's "per cent" too, .05 except for the first 3 years of driving, when anything above zero will get a licence suspension even for a first offence.

0.04 percent is 0.4 promille

Not quite.

If you eat too much you're blood sugar will go through the roof causing your body to realease a megadose of insulin; and all your carbs and calories will be sucked into your fatty tissue resulting in a blood sugar level crashing back to the floor... then you'll be hungry and tired but your body won't actually need food or sleep.
