I thought you can't digest more than a little bit of blood because of the amount of iron in it. And you're likely to start vomiting.

And if you lose too much blood, it'll kill you much more quickly anyways.

And of course if you lose blood and have to replenish it... That takes a good amount of extra energy to produce all the blood cells etc. And digestion also costs energy.
