Weird question? If you gain calories when you consume food, then you must certainly lose calories when you evacuate it as waste. Is there a significant calorie loss for pooping?

    That would depend on how full of it you are! :ohwell: You could always weigh yourself before and after if you are that curious.

    But seriously. Your body will have absorbed all the nutrients out of the stool. So you aren't losing cals.

    You won't lose calories, as mentioned, but you will lose "mass". Your weight can go down up to a few lbs after a BM.

    actually when you crap you are crapping the food after it has been stripped of the calories your body absorbs. the calories listed on the nutrition label is (I believe) the amount of calories that will be stripped from the food you eat.

    so in reality, you don't crap out calories.

    Lololol. I love this gif!

    PS- Aren't all the calories sucked out and all that's left can't be digested? That is what the human gut is supposed to do...

    Well, sometimes it takes a lot of work to poo, haha. I would think you're burning some calories at least, haha.

    You may not loose calories but you can definitely loose some weight. I was not feeling well yesterday. Not eating much combined with 6 or 8 BMs I lost almost 3 lbs.
