                                According to scientific estimates, the average human body contains approximately 140,000 to 200,000 calories in total, a figure that's more often discussed in theoretical anthropological studies than in dietary guides. This provides an entry point to discuss the inherently nonsensical question: How many calories are in a bum? While a bum, or buttocks, is not a food source and has no nutritional value to a consumer, understanding the science behind the query is a fun way to explore basic principles of human physiology.
