Is it possible to wring more energy from food than we currently do?

Probably, but that requires we know how it works at the present.

One guy tested and the calorie counts seem to be meaningless garbage.

I think he missed some important masses added back into feces from biles, but other than that it looks completely made up.

>more fficient
most of nature is quantity over quality.
chlorophyll is very inefficient so everything that uses it is green.
idk how efficient oxygen exchange is but that's some bright color begging for optimization.
I wonder how efficient the bluebloods are.
musk's brother should make a non-profit that mimics monsanto's work.
the C4 plants north america grows in one season out-compete the rain forest in CO2 sequestration.
but that bitch greta thinks we are the problem.

Yes. First thing would be to produce enzymes that break down other substances in food like fibers and lignin.

We could also hold food for longer to digest the most out of it. Instead of a giant long intestine, we could have a loop that circles the same food around until it finally branches out when all the nutrients are exhausted.

We could add another stomach that can be home to aerobic bacteria. Oxygen can be supplied to it directly from the respiratory system with a gas-permeable membrane instead of inefficiently through blood.

Then make modifications to stop you from getting colon cancer. Other animals digest those fibers just fine.

afaik cyanoglobin is more efficient than hemoglobin but only at higher pressures
