I've posted a video by this YouTuber before, she's a PhD student and a diet/fitness vlogger. I like when she does the heavy science/math videos because I enjoy understanding the numbers and data of weight and nutrition. The breakdown of how much fat she would expect to gain from her 8000 calorie cheat day is the most interesting part, in my opinion, but I think it's all really informative for the layperson with no background in this kind of science.

    Very interesting. And definitely worthwhile to post in a lot of "upset people" threads!!!!

    Very interesting. A lot of misconceptions about a high calorie intake day as opposed to what really happens.

    But holy cow, 8,000 calories in one day.. not sure I could even stomach that!

    Most YT health and fitness vloggers have done that silly 10,000 calorie challenge at some point. I have some issues with doing it for content but taking some note of the effects and making a sort of study of it redeems it in some ways. For the video above she's not actively trying to get to X amount of calories, but all the same I don't think I could get there either. It's a lot of donut calories and I don't have that sweet a tooth! Put some fresh breads in front of me, on the other hand...
