From what I learnt in high school, the human body is about 70% water. If that is correct, then the remaining 30% is of tissues and bones combined together with, if I may so assume, 80% of that due to bones. So, in a 100 lb body (the number is used here for convenience only) we have 70 lbs water, 24 lbs bones and 6 lbs for all the dried tissues. Maybe even more weight should be attributed to bones. So, from an emaciated body of say 50 lbs, since bones were not metabolizable to provide energy as fats and proteins were, it might still be is reasonable to expect at least about 20 lbs of bones if not the whole lot of 24. Now re-do your calculations from there.
