Calorie Control

Calorie Control is a hiden used by the Akimichi Clan which forms the basis of all their techniques. It allows them to convert their fat reserves into chakra, which they can then use to perform their hiden.

Overview
Through the use of this technique, the Akimichi are able to freely convert their fat reserves into Yang chakra. This chakra can then be used for their techniques, allowing them to expand parts of their bodies or their entire body to reach ginormous heights. Although all Akimichi use this when making use of their techniques, not all of them possess the ability to completely use their fat. Therefore, to make the use of them, less-experienced Akimichi use the Three Colored Pills. It gives them the power of their full reserves, but it comes at the cost of their life if not immediately treated. With more experience, an Akimichi can learn to access their full reserves without relying on the colored pills.

Calorie Points
Unlike most others, Akimichi make use of their fat reserves instead of their natural chakra. However, the amount they can use largely depends on their own weight. Calorie points are used in substitute of chakra points when an Akimichi uses their hiden. The larger an Akimichi is, the more amount of calorie points they possess.

The amount of calorie points an Akimichi has is measured by their BMI (Body Mass Index). The scale starts at 30 points, which is considered overweight. Every point from that point on is equivalent to 1 calorie point. However, this is also equivalent to -.5 points to Speed, as there is too much mass to normally carry one's self. In example, Akimichi A has a BMI of 38. This means he has 8 calorie points, but suffers from a -4 points to his speed. A character's speed can not go any lower than .5. Calorie Points can only be refilled during a fight with food rations.
