The idea is initially inspired by the idea that Double Entry bookkeeping uses the perspective of the person. I realize a body is more complex, and certainly not a zero sum game, but so are the financial markets. They are treated as black boxes with trends based on transactions etc. I thought it might be an idea to treat the body as a black box with calorie in/out transactions similar to the hackers diet approach https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/
So coming back to the question - if i was to go about it, do you have suggestions about how i could i approach it. Could i also convert/link financial transactions to calories?
