Weight gain query...
ok, so i don't care about weight gain, but i'm curious about something after a conversation i had last night. mayhem and i were talking about those heavenly and highly addictive oatmeal creme pie cookies. i asked him how many i was allowed to have each day, and he said to just have one a day max because he gained over 10 pounds when he at them however he wanted. so i just looked at the box, and the entire thing only weighs like a pound. so here's my question:
can you gain more weight than the object you ate that made you gain the weight? (wow, that's circular!) for example: if i theoretically (because i don't think i could do it) ate the entire box of oatmeal creme pies, all 12 cookies and like 1500 grams of fat, all at once... could it really make me gain more than the single pound that the cookies weigh? and if so, how in the heck is that possible?? especially considering that whatever goes in your body ends up leaving in some form or fashion.
i'm just curious. i never paid much attention to the weight stuff or to all the stuff people know about it, so maybe the answer to this question is common knowledge. so edumucate me!
