    calories is not a measure of weight.

    i weighed an empty glass on my kitchen scale just this morning. 11.1 oz. I filled the 16 oz glass with water and it was 1 lb 14.3oz. Therefore, the water itself was over a pound.

    That proves 3500 cals is not 1 pound!

    actually, it proves that 1 pound is not 3500 calories


    16 oz of butter is 3256 calories. SO it is close! :wink:

    What did you eat? A pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat.


    Hmmmmm a pound is a pound....so one pound of muscle weighs excatly the same as one pound of fat.....the voulme will for sure be diffrent....buuuuut a pound is a pound !!!

    This can't be true. I'm always heavier after I lift weights.

    Why would anyone eat a pound of muscle?

    Mussels go great with beer.

    3500 surplus or deficit = 1 pound up or down

    Your weight fluctuation for today has to do with the volume of food you consumed. It is like filling a bag (your stomach) with food and then putting it on the scale. The bag already has its own weight and it would not be the same with an apple in it. The volume of the apple will increase the weight of the bag. Take the apple out, and the bag weighs the same.

    Not sure but I think the food in your digestive tract may weigh more than the fat which it creates. There's water and fiber in the food (usually) that's going to be expelled.

    It is a fact though that a pound of fat contains about 3500 calories of energy.

    This!

    I had a hard time believing this was a serious post. After all, a gallon of water is 8 pounds alone and there are no calories in it. seriously?

    this seemed dubious so i did the math.

    1 lb of fat in grams is 454g of fat.

    1g of fat is 9 calories

    Therefore, 9*454 = 4086!! That's 586 difference!

    What about muscle? 454 grams of muscle at 4cal/protein gram is... 1816 calories!

    So fat is actually 4086 calories per pound
    Muscle is 1816 calories per pound. That means it takes twice as much muscle in a pound of fat
    Which means that a pound of muscle weighs MORE THAN DOUBLE a pound of fat.

    Proven with math.

    Have you checked your hymien discombobulator?

    See a doctor about it, sometimes it can affect your trilomthicarus, which basically increases your calorie intake by a percentage.

    Seems impossible I know but, stranger things have happened.

    Only a doctor can tell you at this point.
