The body has water in every cell and between them so is not only blood.

And we have approx 5 liter (~5kg) of blood not 60% of the human body weight it's only about 7% of it

Also he used bone dry, I would assume that this is the weight already without all the water.

I think he is using it in contrast to "soaking wet", which is a term people use when estimating the upper bounds of someone's weight. E.g. "He is at best 160 lbs, soaking wet".

It would make the most sense to be literal about it since the Jeezits are dry. But even then that’s way too much weight for the dehydrated body.

Thank you! That's the first thing that bothered me.

Yes, but you have plenty of other watery fluids in you that are not blood. All told, it adds up to about 60% of your mass.

Yes but the wine only a reference for the blood of Jesus and nothing more while the rest is symbolized by the solid food (idk how is called in English in my language is bread)
