If I ate myself, would I be twice the size as now or disappear completely???

Question

I'm not looking to eat my self, as I'm not interested in doing so, but would it be possible to eat yourself and either 1) disappear OR 2) grow x2? You said that you could answer... so could you??? Please??? I'm dying to know!!!

Answer 1

The elements making up your body must go somewhere so you cannot simply disappear. It would have to be transformed into waste, and exhaled as carbon dioxide and water vapor because you cannot destroy matter (conservation of matter).

 

Also, think of all those calories.
