That's very interesting because with some more napkin math... If we assume 3500 additional calories is 1 lb of fat stored on your body, then 3500/300 = 11.6 da

That's very interesting because with some more napkin math...
If we assume 3500 additional calories is 1 lb of fat stored on your body, then
3500/300 = 11.6 days you gained 1lb
Assuming 6 months is 180 days, then
180/11.6 = 15.5 lbs over 6 months
