The Diet Guy
Just had a client visit who says she went out for a big meal and put on 4 pounds of fat in a night.
Just to confirm this is very very very unlikely and in fact virtually impossible.
The majority of that weight will be water and not fat and here is the maths to prove it!
1. To put on a pound of fat you need to overeat by 3500 calories.
2. The average girl needs 2000 calories a day.
3. Therefore to put on 4 pounds of fat you would have to have eaten 2000 calories and then eaten 3500 calories and then another 3500 calories and then another and then another (to make 4 pounds).
4. This means to put on 4 pounds you would have needed in an evening out to have eaten around 16000 calories!!
Now then!! 16000 calories!!
As an example if we take a Mr Kipling Deep Filled Mince Pie which is not the most healthy food but we have all had them, you would need to eat 63 of them to put that weight on, that is just over 10 boxes full!! Now even when i was my biggest I couldn't have eaten more than 3 or 4 mince pies net alone 63!! So therefore if you do have a meal don't get too hung up on the scales!
Interestingly though let me show you this!
If we take a Special K super healthy bar! They are 140 calories (well the one I had yesterday was!), if you were to have your days allocation of calories and then just before bed have that healthy Special K bar, then over a year you would have 51100 calories too many!! Which means you would put on around 15 pounds in weight (or about a stone!) over the year!!
Therefore what I am trying to elude to is that it isn't what you day every hour or every day that matters, it is the average over weeks, months and years that defines your weight.
