    "The average weight of the adult male tongue is 70 grams, for a female, 60 grams."
    Other facts: the tongue is 60-74% percent water, 16-18% protein, 15-24% fat!

    The tongue can indeed gain weight if it becomes damaged and swells but even if just a little the weight would not be much at all.
