Water, dietary fiber, and salt are three things I can think of that contribute to your mass but do not have calories.

Looks like I have to update it to ‘everything you ever ate' minus ‘everything you ever burned or excreted'

Except after "burning" anything, you don't lose the mass until you excrete the CO2. So technically it's just: mass in - mass out = current mass

Hmm I'm not sure if generated heat would count.

When you burn fat, the weight is lost as CO2 through the lungs and also as water into your pee. Most of the mass is exhaled as CO2.

That would technically count whatever your mother ate while you were in her womb.

Calories dont directly translate into weight necessarily. Besides the fact that your body is composed of noncaloric material as well as caloric material and that the digestive process isnt 100% efficient and humans naturally shed some amount of calories anyway means the calories you consume arent all absorbed. The human metabolism is more complex than calories in + calories out = total bodily weight.

That would only be true if the body was 100% efficient at using calories. Corn.

You have bacteria, microscopic creatures, dust, soap residue and other things on you that add to the weight.

Hate to break it to you, but turning mass into energy is something only stars do naturally. People don't get lighter by burning calories.

What about the things I stick in my butt but never come out? Technically I never ate that 65mm wrench.

Plus every input from surgeries (e.g. metal screws, replacement of hips, knees etc.) minus every loss by surgery, accident or other reasons (e.g. replacement surgeries, loss of kidney, tonsils, appendix, teeth, amputation, etc.). As charming as your idea is, it is absolutely not accurate.

That tic-tac you ate in 8th grade? Part of your current weight. The calories you burned jumping up and down at a concert when you were 18? Part of your current weight.
