Answer

Name: Ian, Effingham
Qualification: Medical school
Answer: Your skeleton weighs about 12-15% of your body weight. If you're 14st, your skeleton will weigh around 2st.
(James O'Brien: But what happens if I'm 14st now and then go on an eating binge and put on 6st? My skeleton won't gain weight. You can't use a percentage.)
