Well MR. WIZARD...Seems simple enough to me...
E= ENERGY
M= MASS
C2= THE SPEED OF LIGHT SQUARED
MASS...."YOUR BODY WEIGHT" TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT SQUARED EQUAL YOUR ENERGY.....DUH....

I don't see what a person's genetic code has to do with it except for the possibility that genes can determine how big you grow, thus your mass, but you've already said they have the same physical attributes, so I would say the energy calculation is the same.
Understood, and the answer is the energies are the same. Say you have a guy, A, that is made up of 50kg of mass with a certain genetic code, and another guy, B, who also has a mass of 50kg with a different genetic code from guy A.
The rest energy of guy A is:
E = (50kg)(3.00x10^8m/s)^2 = 4.5 x 10^18 Joules
The rest energy of guy B is:
E = (50kg)(3.00x10^8m/s)^2 = 4.5 x 10^18 Joules
Having different genetic codes do not affect the energy at all, if their masses are the same. How is genetics supposed to affect the rest energy of a person?
If you were thinking about the chemical energy generated from food and metabolism, then that is unrelated to rest energy. Rest energy is where if you could take some amount of matter and completely convert it into energy, then the amount of energy you get is given by the E = mc^2 equation. Chemical reactions due to metabolism does not involve conversion of mass to energy. It has more to do with electromagnetic energy, which is the fundamental cause of all chemical reactions, with the exception of nuclear reactions.
