If you were starving, could you extend the amount of time you would live by eating yourself? For example, if you were an adept surgeon, could you cut off your leg below the knee and then eat that, or would you die sooner than if you just left it?

I've come to the conclusion there is probably a cut-off point (no pun intended) where your body will have consumed so much of the muscle store in your leg that it's no-longer worth doing. So you would need to cut your leg off before this point, and then freeze it until you were really starving and then eat the leg.
