If I were to be eaten as Halloween candy what would my macros be? 5'2, 100 pounds, 19% body weight. Any cannibals out there? I understand if I get no replies. :)

    Well I am guessing you would be around 350,000 calories since we compare one pound to 3500 calories

    That would be true if she were 100 lbs of fat. There are less calories in muscle than fat, pound for pound. Plus so much of the body is water, which is no cals. Hmmm this is complicated :p

    Well, if she is at 19% body fat, does that mean that 81% is muscle, bones, water, blood, whatever? Maybe THAT is the dumbest question ever. I've heard women hold more water than men, but in any case the average adult body is 50%-60% water, leaving ~26% for fat, bones...and stuff....uh, right?

    edit:
    About 30-40% of the weight of the human body is the skeleton, but when the bound water is removed, either by chemical desiccation or heat, half the weight is lost.

    Roughly...

    12 lbs fat (5500 grams)
    20 lbs protein (9000 grams)
    3 lbs carbs (1500 grams) (that one is a little tough, it would depend on how you were....ummm..."prepared"...)

    And that's actually a pretty neat question, IMO...

    I must be the only geek here who thinks that's the coolest question I've heard all week. The answer eludes me right now but I can see myself not getting much sleep trying to work it out!!!!

    This is an awesome question, and maybe I'll see if I can write a script that calculates that, just for funsies.

    I guess parts of you would be discarded too, so it's probably necessary to work out the calories for the edible portion...

    Haha coolest question ever! And yea also, not being overweight is not the same thing as being fit. You can be thin and in bad shape at the same time.

    Vsauce did a video on this, actually.

    I'll post back when I find it.

    ETA: found it.

    A 200-lb human in outer space would eventually become about 120 pounds of freeze-dried jerky, totaling 115,000 calories.

    So if we dehydrated and freeze-dried your body, you'd be worth roughly 57,500 calories.

    Yum.

    I agree.

    Probably the most boring/pointless/retarded question ever.

    57,500 calories mmmmmmm, what a day that would be! Personally, I'd prefer them in lots of rich lovely goodies.. not human form. So, thanks.. but no thanks. :flowerforyou:

    No garden gnome. I've always been thin. Can you answer my post or are you just trying to be snarky?

    Are you one huge candy or you will be made in a lot of tiny little hottie candies?
