Swallowing a significant amount of blood, do I track that?

    I usually don't bother logging my blood.

    If it's other people's blood I tend to log it.

    Omg..hahahahaha! :D

    Only if it isn't your own. Otherwise it's just recycling

    I've often wondered how to track the calories of other's blood that I am consuming? Does it matter how fat or skinny that person is? Because I tend to feed on larger individuals as they are easier for me to catch... how would I track 3 ounces, as that is what I have consumed today thus far...

    Yes before you consume the liquid of your victims I would suggest getting you a lipid panel. Depending on what your nutritional goals are if you are eating lower calorie you probably would want to eat a victim that has blood low in triglycerides and low density lipoproteins or LDL. If they have a high HDL although higher in calorie it gives you some great healthy fats to your diet.

    Great question.

    Blood is processed, so you shouldn't eat it.

    I thought it'd be paleo, so you should eat it.
