Well, E=mc2, so you could get a whole lot of energy if you could somehow make the elements of your body turn into energy.
Considering the human body that would mean a lot of energy(in terms of heat & light)
so depending upon your mass(not weight)
we can find out the energy.
E / m = c2 = (299,792,458 m/s)2 = 89,875,517,873,681,764 J/kg (≈9.0 × 1016 joules per kilogram)
So one gram of mass is equivalent to the following amounts of energy:89.9 terajoules
25.0 million kilowatt-hours (≈25 GW·h)
21.5 billion kilo-calories (≈21 Tcal) [5]
21.5 kilotons of TNT-equivalent energy (≈21 kt) [5]
85.2 billion BTUs
e.g:suppose your mass is 100 Kg = 100,000 g
E=100,000*(299,792,458 m/s)2
E= 25.0 x 105 million kilowatt-hours
which is a lot of energy (maybe enough to annihilate us)

∙ 11y agoThe key is to convert daily caloric intake (which is assumed to be the same as the body's daily energy use) and covert that to joules.
Lets assume your body uses 2500 calories in one day.
One calorie is = 4.2Joules
250,000 calories x (4.2J / calorie) = 10,500kJ per day

Typically somewhere between 1,500 and 4,000 Calories per day.

What is the energy in a human body?
Energy is stored as chemical energy in human body. It is consumed when required.
What type of energy is a human?
The human body produces electrochemical, kinetic, and potential energy.
What determines how much energy a human can receive from?
A human gets energy from the calories of food. how much energy the food molecules have
How is energy stored in the body?
Food provides energy, and too much food = too much energy so it will be stored. It will be stored and it is what we call fat. Fat can be stored almost anywhere on the human body, their usually stored around our bellys, butts, legs and arms.
Why is the human body considered as energy converter?
The human body converts food/fuel to matter and motion, thus converting energy from mass to mass and motion.
What is the energy in a human body?
Energy is stored as chemical energy in human body. It is consumed when required.
What type of energy does food provide the human body?
The human body converts food energy into work, thermal energy or chemical energy that is stored in fatty tissue.
What type of energy is a human?
The human body produces electrochemical, kinetic, and potential energy.
Are energy harmful to the human body?
no
Which gland determines the rate of which the human body uses energy?
Thyroid gland determines the rate at which human body utilizes energy.
What did they use energy drinks for?
To attain energy in the human body.
How is the human body energy used?
To do work ,which is the movement of your body
What substances that provide the energy and raw materials the human body needs are?
Nutrients provide the energy and raw materials that the human body needs.
What are the 3 factors determining energy needs in the human body?
Human body needs energy to breathe,keep the heart breathing and to maintain our body temperature :D
What determines how much energy a human can receive?
A human gets energy from the calories of food. how much energy the food molecules have
What determines how much energy a human can receive from?
