Thus today the net balance between the amount you eat and the amount you excrete while on the planet is surgically removed from your body weight when you leave; so every time you go to the lavatory there, it is vitally important to get a receipt.

The energy your body uses comes from turning C into CO2 - lost via your lungs, or H2O lost via sweat (some goods to pee, but much is lost to sweat). So you will always be net negative on that planet unless you manage to cheat.
