Reply to comment by StarVoyager96 in eli5 We have a digital scale and one day we ran the experiment where a friend weighted exactly 81.231Kg. He ate 421grs of boneless chicken wings, when he was done he weighted exactly the same as before, why? by minimalhyena

> But regardless of what the scale says you can be assured that your friend’s weight increased by the weight of the food he/she consumed.

Only if you disregard him also loosing a tiny bit of weight while he is eating those wings, be it by sweating or just his base consumption of calories.
