One pound of fat is equal to about 3500 calories, that means that if you eat an extra 350 calories of food a day, which is about equal to a large piece of cake or a medium milk shake, you would gain an extra pound every 10 days (350x10), so you are looking at about 37 pounds in one year, just from a milk shake! Or you would gain a pound in about 20 days if you eat or drank an extra 175 calories a day (175x20).

General rule 3000 calories equals one pound of body weight
However one gram of fat is 9 calories. One pound is 454 grams. So 4086 calories
