Absolutely! But then you gain it back when your body produces new blood.

There is about 600 calories in a pint of blood. It takes energy to produce all of the proteins and cells in the blood. But because you can only give blood once every two months, 600 calories is not enough to make a difference. Try cutting 100-200 calories from your daily diet if you want to lose weight.

you loose as much weight as the amount of blood you donated weighed. it takes a few weeks for you to regain all (most likely about a pint) of that blood. donating blood is not a weight loss tool.

No it does not in fact it makes you burn calories because your body will be trying to reproduce the blood that has been taken out during the donation process
