In airport check-in, some airlines weigh carry-on bags. If the bag is too heavy due to food that will be consumed in the airport, is that okay?

What would happen if during check-in my bag was too heavy, but I planned on eating and lightening it before boarding? Will they refuse to give me my boarding pass?

The comment by Sabine is right:

This depends on the mood of the check-in staff.

The worst that can reasonably happen is that they tell you your carry-on bag is too heavy. Then you can take out all the food. They will weigh it again and accept it. Then you can put the food back in ;-). Or you have to eat it all before returning to the check-in desk. Just try to avoid it all ending up in the airplane sick bag…
