There are ~3500 calories in a pound. That blew my mind. Someone needs to eat an excess of ~3500 calories to gain one pound.  Let's do the math.  Large pepperoni pizza from a large name brand, fuck adverts, 10 slices = 3200 calories.  Big Mac, 563 calories. Eat 4 of these, gain a pound! Hooters wings, (5) = 866 calories. Holy fuck. Oh and the naked wings? More calories than the breaded ones. When you take away the 2000 cal / day idea and use the amount of calories in a pound, I think fattys understand it a little more.  Stay safe out there, friends, its a jungle of hambeasts.
