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).
Or you would gain a pound in about 20 days if you eat or drank an extra 175 calories a day (175x20).
On the other hand, eating 175 fewer calories a day would mean that you could lose a pound every 20 days.
Or if you keep the diet the same, but burned an extra 175 calories a day by exercising more, then again, you could lose a pound in about 20 days.
