Will I gain weight If I eat at night?
It doesn't matter what time of day you eat, it matters what your total calorie intake is...so if you eat junk food at night (which a lot of people do if they are snacking) it might contribute to weight gain if it puts your calorie intake above how many calories you burned that day... As long as your total calories consumed are lower than calories burned, it doesn't matter what time of the day or night you eat...however it is recommended that you eat 4 - 6 small meals a day (spaced out about 3 hrs apart) to keep your metabolism burning higher for a longer continuous period and thus burning more total calories during the day than if you spaced your meals far apart where your metabolism would go up and then down in between meals... If you are going to snack, make it healthy stuff so at least you won't have to worry as much about unneeded calories or unhealthy fat or sodium content (such as in chips)...
If i eat a WHOLE cake will i gain weight?
1 cake in 1 day, NO. If you did this every day, yes. 3500 calories is a pound. Unless you have a positive calorie intake of that much over time you will gain no weight. It is also impossible to calculate how much weight you will gain from this cake alone because it depends on what else you will eat that day. If that was the only thing you ate it's possible your BMR would burn it all up plus some. It's all about calories. Even if you did gain weight, it's not going to be noticeable that you ate a whole cake by looking at you. Weight gain takes time. The only thing that might be obvious is that your stomach is full of food making it seem like your stomach sticks out, once it's digested it will go away. Try to relax a little.

Why do I gain weight after eating?
Depending on the food you eat there are a few things that could happen to cause immediate scale weight gain:Carbs: Any time you have a meal with a substantial amount of carbs, your muscles fill up with glycogen causing you to gain a little bit of scale weight. This doesn’t mean you have an increase in body fat. But this will cause the scale to go up.On the flip side of that, when someone starts a low carb diet, the glycogen in their muscles will be depleted, causing them to lose weight.Sodium: When you eat foods that contain a substantial amount of sodium (salty foods), this causes you to retain water. With this extra retention of water, the scale will go up. This doesn’t mean an increase in body fat though. Just a momentary increase in scale weight.Food and water have weight: While food is digested and you have additional water in your body, the weight of those items is added to your weight. Again, that doesn’t mean you gained body fat.When you wake up the next morning, your scale weight is a better determinant of your weight because there are not many as many outside factors that could impact the scale weight.Hope that helps!-Patrick

How much weight will I gain eating 500 extra calories?
The direct (and text book) answer is that if you eat 500 extra calories in a day, that days caloric excess will result in a weight gain of 2.3 ounces. 1 lb. of fat will be lost or gained depending on whether 3,500 calories are consumed in excess, or, restricted from caloric homeostasis. Resting Metabolic Rate is the numerical value used to determine caloric homeostasis. By this calculus, if you eat an excess of 500 calories everyday for 7 consecutive days you should gain a pound of fat in a week. Let me assure you that it isn’t always that simple depending on a multitude of potential metabolic factors. A practical thought; take into consideration the composition of the weight gained. It could be all fat or a combination of fat and muscle depending on activity levels and whether a strength training regimen is simultaneously utilized.
Do we gain weight if we eat one meal a day?
I am glad to see so many responses here, as I thought I had “discovered” this method of losing weight. I was quite a bit overweight (5′10, 245 lbs up until the last few years). Then I started playing Pickleball 6 hours a week and walking several hours a week as well and managed to get down to around 225 lbs, but couldn’t seem to go any lower. Then I began going out more and more to lunch buffets (there are several really excellent ones in Bloomington) and just “coasting” through the afternoon and evening, avoiding all snacks. I have lost steadily using this regimen and now I hover between 176 and 180. I used to eat a light breakfast (steel-cut oats or cereal and milk or half an orange, one egg and one or two pieces of toast) but I find I can do just fine without breakfast.I find several advantages to this method in addition to losing weight. I believe I have more free time due to not having to shop, prepare, or clean up after meals. What’s more, I believe the cost of the ingredients is quite close to what I would have to pay individually and the fridge never gets stuck with unused fruits, veggies, meat, or cheese.Since I am a type II diabetic I also try to avoid all fruit juices except tomato juice and I always leave dessert until last, so as to not spike my blood sugar. I also control blood sugar with Metformin after lunch and later in the afternoon and/or early evening. Not keeping any snacks in the house used to be necessary, but now I find I don’t crave them so much and the extra vitality I feel from not having to carry around all that surplus weight is a great motivator.Finally, I must mention a downside or two: 1) it’s less easy to socialize with people who want to go out for dinner rather than lunch, and 2) I have no more cushion on my butt, so sitting for long periods is not comfortable! I have started doing squats to build up my glutes.Every single person I have told about this method is “certain” they couldn’t go the long period between lunches without eating, but that has become a non-issue for me after a while on this regime. (Of course if you are hypoglycemic or have some other medical condition you shouldn’t try this type of diet without consultation with your physician)
If I stay on my calorie limit and eat whatever I want, will I gain weight?
It is not only diet that contributes to our losing weight but a lot of factors.And there might be some reasons why you aren't losing that weight you had envisaged to loseAnd they maybe1. You take too much healthy foodNuts, avocados, whole-wheat paste, olive oil and dark chocolate are natural and healthy, but they are not low in calories. You also have to pay attention to how much you eat of the healthy food.2. You do not take breakfastBreakfast skipping seems like a good way to save calories, but your body is actually going to store fat because it thinks it is going to be starving.3. You eat straight and without thinkingEating while standing at the fridge or counter, you do not save time or energy, because it leads to thoughtless eating. You have to be aware of what you eat, because then you put less in your mouth.4. You do not sleep enoughMaking time for sports sessions can mean that you can not crawl into your bed until later.Yet it is important that you sleep well enough, because you need extra energy to keep up your sports routine. In addition, hormones that stimulate your appetite are caused by too little sleep.5. You do not eat enough vegetablesEating five to seven servings of fruit and vegetables is important for everyone, but dieters certainly benefit from it. Vegetables offer a wide variety of nutrients, with fewer calories. Varying is the message.6. You do not cut your foodCutting your food into small pieces may seem childish, but studies show that smaller portions are more satisfying. The result: you are satisfied with less.Hope it was helpfulTo know more visit 15 Reasons Why You Don't Lose That Weight Fast
