If I sat at my computer table for a week, for 2-4 hours after eating an huge dinner, would I gain weight?

Depends what you do the rest of the time.

Yes you will gain weight. Even with a fast metabolism, you will only burn about 54 calories per hour sitting at your desk typing away. Depending on how much you eat for dinner, you may have consumed at the low end of 900 calories to the high end of 4000+.

If the computer or tv or w/ is on then I think so but I'm not sure. But what I can tell you is that it is not healthy to eat while playing on the computer or watching tv because studies show that when you do so, your mind is not focusing on what you are eating so it does not send a message to your stomach and back saying that you are full. You won't get the message which will make you keep eating even if you are full so you might get fat. Be careful!

it depends on your metabolism. i learned in school though, that if you eat a big dinner right before bed and then go straight to bed after eating, that you will more than likely gain some weight, because it can slow down your metabolism. so i'm guessing that would be similar. so my guess is yes, you would gain some weight, but probably not a lot.

Probally, because you are eating alot of calories. When you eat alot of calories you must at least run for about 20 minutes to burn off the calories plus a few extra calories. If not you may gain abou 3-5 pounds.

yes. The best thing to do is drink lots of water with or after dinner, and watch calories when watching weight.

no because your body has a certian amount of calories that it needs to run your body doing nothing.It would blow your mind how many cals your body needs just to function just laying in bed for 24 hours doing nothing. Now depending on the amount of fat/ carbs you intake you may start to gain fat weight over time.People dont get fat in a year the get fat over years"

No. You only gain weight if you take in more calories than you burn. Simple as that.....
