Not if : Timing of eating just does not matter. It's total calories in. 4000 calories is one pound of weight. That's equivalent to about a 100 saltines (40 calories per saltine.. takes 100 of them to gain a pound). Hope belly better; abdominal pain can be a serious condition (unlikely if it goes away).
