if you eat a 1 pound meal will you directly gain 1 pound afterwords?

Question

basically does the food i eat weigh exactly the same after i eat and digest it. so if i weigh 155 and eat a 1 pound burger do i now weigh 156?

Answer 1

No, because it depends on WHAT you eat. Fats, carbohydrates and proteins all have different caloric values.

You may be one pound heavier INITIALLY after eating one pound of food but once your body starts breaking down everything the actual contents of the food will dictate weight gain. Remember that 1 pound is equal to 3500 calories. So it all depends on what you eat.

One pound of raw vegetables does not equal one pound of sweets. The pound of sweets has a much higher caloric value and will contribute to the 3500 threshold needed for weight gain of another pound. Does that make sense?

Answer 2

Yes, you now weight 1 lb more, less moisture given off and energy burned off in that period. Drink a pint of water, gain a pound.

Answer 3

No. Some of the food your body digests. Some is turned into fat and muscle, and that is how you gain weight. The rest is excreted.

Answer 4

Briefly, yes.

Then moisture will be removed from the food and eliminated. Then digestion occurs until only solid waste remains.

Answer 5

No, you body uses energy to disgest it, which will mean you will weigh less than the 1 lb you put in.

Answer 6

yup , untill the big mac passes through. than back to 155

Answer 7

no you burn off some of the weight while chewing breathing and also it comes out the digestive system. well some of it

Answer 8

Technically yes...but once the fat and nutrients are soaked into your system, you can easily gain more weight due to fat storage.

Answer 9

Answer 10

no. you will poop some out
