    Use one of these to find the calorific content, but replace the bean shaped object with poo.

      I don't believe there should be any mass lost as per the constant mass law of chemical reactions (although i'm not sure if that law includes the sort of miniscule amounts you refer to)
      The loss of mass in chemical reactions is tiny (M=E/c^2). Even spinning an object increases its mass by an amount probably too small to be measured. The earth also gains mass from being heated by the Sun.
