Answer 1

Bizarrely, this has been asked before and answered very clearly.

Check it out [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3xl78p/a_gram_uranium_is_roughly_20_billion_calories_if/). Short answer is no, because (a) they’re energy calories (a food calorie is 1 kcal), (b) they’re not bioavailable, and (c) there’s no matter to add to your body.

Interesting question.
