You're talking 1 lb, maybe 2 if you really go overboard.
- mikeash 10y agoA pound of fat is about 3,500 calories of overeating. Real hard to do that much in one sitting for someone who doesn't do it constantly.
- ap3 10y agoYes but how much of those calories are you burning off every day ? - you would need 3,500 above your daily burn rate
- mikeash 10y agoThat's what I meant by "overeating": whatever is beyond what you need to sustain.
- jlebrech 10y ago3,500 calories of fat, or 30% extra of carbs or protein. protein is also insulinogenic so eating too much fat along with similar amounts of protein will make someone balloon (i.e fried chicken)
