How Many Calories Did You Consume for Halloween?

[General Veers]

Here's something interesting, taken from a recent Foxtrot cartoon:

Note: One nutritional calorie = one chemical kilocalorie.
It is unknown how long after eating you should measure your temperature in order to determine how many nutritional calories you consumed. Your result may not come out to be how many nutritional calories you actually consumed. You can test this by recording how many nutritional calories of food you ate and applying these calculations.

• Determine your average weight in pounds. Recall that weight is a force, not a mass.
  (Example: 120 lbs.)
  
  
• Multiply that by 4.45 Newtons/pound to determine your weight in Newtons, also a force.
  (Example: 120 lbs. * 4.45 N(lbs)^-1 = 534 N)
  
  
• Divide that by the acceleration of gravity where you generally reside. If you don't know, then just use the approximate value of 9.8ms^-2. The result is your mass in kilograms.
  (Example: 534 N / 9.8ms^-2 ~ 54.490 kg)
  
  
• If you are an adult male, multiply this value by 0.6. If you are an adult female, multiply this value by 0.55. The result is the average mass of your body water in kilograms.
  (Example: 54.490 kg * 0.6 ~ 32.694kg)
  
  
• The same number in nutritional calories is how many nutritional calories it would take to raise your entire body water temperature by 1 centigrade.
  (Example: It takes ~32.694 kcal to raise body water temperature 1 degree Celsius.)
  
  
• Determine your average body temperature when in good health, which should be around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 centigrades.
  (Example: Average body temperature is 37 centigrades.)
  
  
• Measure your body temperature a few minutes or hours after eating lots of Halloween candy.
  (Example: Body temperature is 40 centigrades after eating candy.)
  
  
• Subtract your average body temperature in centigrades from your "Halloween splurge" body temperature in centigrades to find the difference in temperature in centigrades.
  (Example: 40 centigrades - 37 centigrades = 3 centigrades)
  
  
• Multiply this value by the number of nutritional calories per centigrade it would take to raise your body temperature by one centigrade. This result is how many nutritional calories of candy you consumed.
  (Example: 3 centigrades * 32.694 kcal/centigrade ~ 98.082 kcal)

...Syntax error....

I suck at this.

[artik]

Or I could say I ate a lot of candy

[Qwerty]

Is there a summarized version? Like an equation or something?

I didn't know Foxtrot made cartoons! Nor did I know Veers watches cartoons.

[Paradox]

I had OVER 9.000!!! pieces of candy.

[Angel]

I consumed many calories.

Wow, more than 9 pieces of candy? Don't go overboard now!

Well, I ain't get no calories on Halloween. On the contrary, I set up a water-gun post on the top front window to shoot the chav trick or treaters....but there weren't any.

[Paradox]

I laugh at your failure.
Meheheheheh.

[darkraine]

I consumed.

[V.I.R.O.S.]

I ate quite a lot. I probably gained like 2 pounds, but it's all going to be gone by the end of this month anyway. For some reason my Speedy Gonzales of a metabolism doesn't like it when my weight changes for any reason other than growth. Which is a good thing too
