A member asked:
Is it actually true that an overeating day will make me gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unable to say: This is difficult to say. It depends on your level of activity that day, the number of calories consumed and your body's own rate of metabolism. In general, however, the answer is usually yes, with one pound gained for each 3, 000 calories consumed. Much of the weight seen after a day of heavy eating is from salt and fluid retention which tends to come off in subsequent days. Best wishes to you.
