when you level up to vegan 100, you can start to get calories via photosynthesis

im only a lvl 55 vegan and thus i just eat rocks and minerals trans-sad

I wonder how much surface area of skin a person would need to sustain themselves through photosynthesis (assuming the skin can photosynthesize).

Some very rough back of the envelope calculations with major engineering math (eg consider the human to be a cylinder and efficiency is 100%, even overnight and ignoring the fact half of you is not facing the sun at all)

12x human surface area is a very generous lower bound
