In a plane crash for example.

The trauma and stress of removing your foot itself burns calories. The calories gained from eating your foot would fail to negate this. I know. I tried.

Of course I cant survive by eating my own foot .Maybe I will survive for 4 to 5 days by sucking my thumb and eat my clothes.

It's been done.
The amazing, true story of a Uruguayan rugby team's plane that crashed in the middle of the Andes mountains, and their immense will to survive and pull through alive, forced to do anything and everything they could to stay alive on meager rations and through the freezing cold. The only thing the team has riding on after losing so many of their good friends and family members is the slim chance of making it through alive and their faithfulness to God.

It depends on what you have to stop the blood...and you probably not be able to stop that sort of blood loss unless your plane crashed right next to a hospital.
Other than that, suppose you ate your foot and didn't die of blood loss. You'd only have any chance to survive if you have a good sturdy chunk of wood and a sharp knife to carve yourself a peg leg.

No...you eat your own foot or cut it off without proper medical treatment you will develope Gangrene and eventually Death...why not eat your dead comrades foot instead? And if youre alone out there in a crashed airplane...THEN EAT your Airplane...

What a gross question. I guess you could if you had a surgeon handy to do the surgery correctly. However, I'd rather eat pig's feet. They are more tasty, but then of course it is hard on the poor pig! And little crutches are hard come by.

Only in severe cold (as the cold would stp the bleeding) I personally would go for the body of a non survivor before my own. Best wishes

How long are you wanting to survive? I guess you can eat your foot and see.

Only a couple of days. Stephen King has a story about a guy who is marooned and eats himself.
