Caloric restriction is an experimental tool that utilizes “undernutrition without malnutrition.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4115619/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4115619/ A simple interpretation of CR would be: “additional leanness from a normal body weight may add health and life span delaying the process of aging.” Regarding BMI, rule of thumb is 20-ish. CR in the NIA study reduces body weight by 25%, so the NIA CR “man equivalent” will have a BMI of 20.8 (in the lower half of the normal weight category)
