my question is that did I gain weight from the meal yesterday?

First, I'm going to go with others - welcome aboard! Your weight this morning is your starting weight. Don't worry about what happened yesterday, because you're starting today and you only have to worry about today, tomorrow, and every other day you can control for the rest of your life. Yesterday, you can't control, so you forget about it right now and start working on today and tomorrow.

As to actual weight loss from a burger, the answer is "yes, you can gain weight", but the answer is also not as dire as you might think, because very little of that weight will be our common enemy, body fat.

Most of the weight you will have gained from that glorious repast is water. Why? Because fast food is very salty, and salt has sodium, and when you eat too much sodium your body is forced to dilute it in water to flush it out of the system, and the water is retained for a day or two in order to make it all happen. The answer is to drink a reasonable amount of extra water to accelerate this diluting/flushing process, and the water weight will go away on its own.

Of course, if you eat them big sandwiches every day and you have to start worrying about their calorie content, but as a one-time event, if it happens in the future - log it and learn from it, then move on.

Thats not true about not burning off burger calories, your body does not differentiate between a burger or an apple, calories are calories.

This is a good time to try science

Step 1. Weigh yourself and record in notebook
Step 2. Eat burger king
Step 3. Reweigh yourself and record in notebook

Draw conclusions

Conclusions based on changes in scale weight from one day to the next is a horrible idea.

*fail*

BUT IT IS SCIENCE AND THEREFORE IT IS RIGHT. #science

As you long as you didn't eat a banana you'll be fine. Banana's are one of the 5 things you should NEVER eat.

This might be the dumbest question I have ever seen posted on MFP.

Does a one pound chicken whopper weigh more than a one pound beef whopper?

Yes it does because the beef probably has more fat and muscle weighs more than fat!!:bigsmile: :glasses: :huh:
