Assuming that you do not take a bathroom break right after you eat or drink something, does your body gain exactly the same weight as what you just consumed? For example,
- A person weighed 100 lbs before eating
- Person eats a 1 lb steak
- Person gets on the scale and weighs him/herself (assuming no bathroom break in between)
- Will person weigh exactly 101 lbs (original 100, plus 1 lb of food) or will the body decompose that food and weigh less than 101 lbs?
No... I don't worry about my weight. I'm just trying to satisfy my curiosity and understand how our bodies process food and if foods weigh less once it's in your body after the body starts to process and decompose the food. Not sure if this fits into health or molecular biology or medicine, but I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts!
