Around 55-60% of the mass of an adult human being is water.
An adult has approx 5 liters (11pints) of blood
For the average American adult, stored as fat! Americans have a very large percentage of body fat and this is energy that is just waiting to be burned!
An adult will have about 5 liters (= 5 kilograms) of blood in his body. Assuming that an average adult male would weigh around 80 kilograms, that would make a percentage of 4,25%. About 70% of a human body consists of fluids, by the way; but most of that is water.
The leafy parts of a plant contain tiny green structures called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are filled with chlorophyll, and this is where the green color comes. Chlorophyll captures the energy in sunlight and oxidizes water and carbon dioxide (as well as carbon monoxide to a lesser degree) to form fructose and other energy rich compounds. This process is called photosynthesis.
Women have a lower BMI than men in developed countries, yet the opposite is true in developing countries. We call this the gender BMI puzzle and investigate its underlying cause. We begin by studying time trends in Japan, where, consistent with the cross-country puzzle, the BMI of adult women has steadily decreased since the 1950s, whereas the BMI of adult men has steadily increased. We study how changes in energy intake and energy expenditure account for the over-time gender BMI puzzle using the Japanese National Nutrition Survey from 1975 to 2010, which provides nurse-measured height and weight and nutritionist-assisted food records. Because long-term data on energy expenditure do not exist, we calculate energy expenditure using a steady-state body weight model. We then conduct cross-country regression analysis to corroborate what we learn from the Japanese data. We find that both energy intake and energy expenditure have significantly decreased for Japanese adult men and women and that a larger reduction in energy expenditure among men than women accounts for the increasing male-to-female BMI gap. Trends in BMI and energy expenditure vary greatly by occupation, suggesting that a relatively large decrease in physical activity in the workplace among men underlies the gender BMI puzzle. The cross-country analysis supports the generalizability of the findings beyond the Japanese data. Furthermore, the analysis suggests the increasing male-to-female BMI gap is driven not only by a reduction in the energy requirements of physically demanding work but also by weakening occupational gender segregation. No support is found for other explanations, such as increasing female labor force participation, greater female susceptibility to malnutrition in utero, and gender inequality in nutrition in early life.

Require? Depends on the person, how nourished they are typically, where they are, etc. But the recommended amount of caloric intake for the average person is 2000-2500 calories a day.
It has the approximate size of a walnut.
for a recommended daily calorie intake of 2900 for 19-50 yr olds-about 90 gms fat is recommended.
The DRI (Daily Recommended Intake) for fiber is 25 grams daily for adult womenand 38 grams daily for adult men.
The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2500 kilocalories/day. The mechanical equivalent of heat is 4.2 Joules/calorie, so 4.2 kiloJoules/kilocalorie, so intake is 10,500 kiloJoules/day. As there are 24 x 60 x 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds/day, the rate of energy use is 121 watts (average over 24 hours)
