Unless you stop breathing during the day, this is super absurd. All non-water non-food weight leaves the body as exhaled carbon (and I suppose also trivially as radiated heat energy). Or are you suggesting that people only exhale CO2 when they sleep?
- RobertRoberts 7y agoI said "weight" not "mass". And yes, I consistently gained weight all day (water + food intake), and did not return to morning weight (minus actual fat used up, about .5 lbs a day on average) until after sleeping. I think the amount of weight lost through exhaling is minimal compared to urinating and defecation. And defecation is almost none at all. (my tests showed that bowel movements have very little affect on weight)
