If you began nibbling on yourself for a snack, are you losing weight or gaining weight?

Answer 1

It depends on how much you eat. If you just eat a couple of fingers or scrape a little fungus off your toes to chow on you probably won't see any difference in your weight. But if you hack off both legs and eat them like that guy in the Stephen King short story I'd imagine you might lose a little weight since you'd only be eating the flesh and not the bones, tendons and gristly connective tissues. Then again if you have really meaty thighs you might gain some, who knows. I sure as hell won't be trying the expiriment!!!!

Answer 2

Ew.
That's kinda like that question :
If a truck full of birds was driving and the birds started to fly in the container, if the weight of the truck would go down.


Or maybe it's not the same at all.

Answer 3

Losing, because part of what you're nibbling will eventually be digested and you all know what happens after you digest something....

Answer 4

Hmmm... I guess u would b losing weight, since some of ur body that ur consuming is being burned off.

Answer 5

Hmm. I think the weight would remain the same.

Answer 6

Neither. You just stay the same. I eat myself all the time biting my fingernails. My weight stays the same.

Answer 7

I don't think there's anything on me I'd want to munch on (I know cannibals would eat me), so I'd end up starving to death. Are you out of snacks and thinking of eating yourself?

Answer 8

What an interesting question. I'm not going to attempt to answer it, just sit here contemplating it in admiration.

Answer 9

You should be loosing weight..burning calories by chewing...not gaining..

Answer 10

I have been nibbling on my ear, which is a new twist.
