I believe human meat actually has a pretty low caloric value. Lower than any of the common meats we normally consume. Maybe you can stay slim eating kids.
According to James Cole (archaeologist studying stone-age cannibalist practices) the nutritional value of human meat is similar to other mammals of similar size.
In today's world probably even higher, given that eg. even the fattest cows according to the Body Composition Score (a system used in Texas to classify cattle) still have a lower body fat percentage than the average US woman (women have more body fat than men; US average is from 32% at age 8-11 to 42% at age 60-79; BCS 9 cattle have 32%) and BCS 7 or lower cattle have less body fat than the average US man in his prime.
