After a meal, your body begins to apportion what it has just eaten to nutrient-hungry organs.
Here's where the calories go, according to Dr. Michael Jenson, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic.
- Muscles, 25 percent
- Liver, pancreas, spleen and adrenal glands, 23 percent
- Kidneys, 10 percent

- Thermogenesis (the act of breaking down the food you just ate), 10 percent
- Brain, 10 percent
- Heart, 5 to 10 percent
- Fat cells, 2 to 3 percent
And if you do the math, that means there is 10 percent left that no one knows where it goes.
Perhaps the part that gets stuck between your teeth?
