What am I made of ?
Jul. 30th, 2003 03:48 pmNow, according to my highly approximate calculatons, a pint of blood is about half a kilo. That means I have around 4 kilos of blood in me, ie less than a tenth of my body weight. (I think, I don't really do kilos).
So, roughly speaking, what percentage of my weight is where ? How much do my bones weigh ? Internal organs ? Muscles ? Anyone have any idea of how I could work this out ?
(I should add that this is merely curiosity, triggered by having just been to blood donors'. I'm not considering a radical weight-loss strategy or anything :)
