100 grams of shrimp are roughly 100 calories. Let's generously assume that one shrimp from the video yields 200 grams of meat. So he would need to continuously catch 10 shrimp a day to satisfy a 2000 calorie diet. Seems to me that the shrimp population of this stream in the video would be exhausted pretty quickly and he would need to move elsewhere to continue hitting his calorie goals.

Given that we are surrounded by an incredible amount of high-calorie food (100g of a Snicker's bar provide 488 calories), it is easy to forget how difficult it is to source calories in the wild.
