Answer 2

Hi again, honey!

The idea of 'calorie balance' isn't scientific, although it's often described as if it is.

Any calculation of calorie intake and output, is a general guideline. It can't be used accurately to describe a single meal, a single day, or a single workout. If you 'average' calorie intakes (or output) over a week, you can be much more accurate. An average over the whole year is even better.

That's partly because your output varies for all sorts of reasons that you can't calculate for. For example, you'll use more calories doing an activity you're not used to, than the lists in exercise books say the exercise uses. As you get more used to the activity, you'll do it more 'efficiently', using less calories per hour.

Calorie intake also varies according to how much energy you ABSORB from the food you eat.

Your food isn't just soaked up, like a sponge fills up with water. Your intestines are a sophisticated system for finding the things your body thinks it needs, and rejecting the rest. The amount of any nutrient that you absorb, will vary all the time, because of your mood, the temperature, how well or ill you are (we fight off infections all the time, without noticing), how much sleep you've had, and lots of etc.

(Don't want to be too graphic about this, but the solids that go down the toilet are the rejected part of what you ate. Pee is manufactured by your body from things that were released as waste. But poo was never 'inside' your body; it just passed through it in a big tube. Really, you're like a doughnut, but the hole in the middle is very narrow and has teeth on one end.)

If you've eaten today, the scales will be weighing the food as well as the rest of you. If you went to the toilet (pee or poo), then that's some liquid or solid material that's not being weighed.

So to 'gain' a pound on the scales, you just need to eat two pounds of food, but only get rid of one pound of 'wastes'.

The natural variations in how much wastes we get rid of each day, are another reason why weighing yourself is a misleading way to judge your health or fitness.

Answer 3

It's possible, but it's tough to do. To give you an idea, if you ate 500 calories per day more than your body needs, you'd put on one pound in a week. That means you'd have to take in 3,500 calories more than your body needs in one day to gain a pound. That's an awful lot. It would be like eating three days worth of food in one day. Another way you can add body weight is by strength training. Bodybuilders who are trying to "bulk up" lift very heavy weights very slowly doing few repetititions but several sets (5 sets of 5 reps or 7 sets of 3 reps are standard bulking routines). Some people may be able to add 2 pounds of muscle per week through strength training, but most people can add a pound of muscle per week through strength training. So even if you did both, you'd still have to eat a lot to gain a pound in one day.
