If I ate a whole pie would I gain? Serious Question!

What is interesting about this is the OP could in fact eat the whole pie, and then just eat a little more of a deficit each day for the rest of the 6 days in the week, and wouldnt gain any weight at all. Maybe a little water weight, but thats it. All these people that say dont do it unfortunately dont know how to work macros and calorie intake/deficits. It's doable.

Mmmmmm....chocolate pie sounds delightful.

You would have to eat an excess of 3500 calories to gain 1 pound.

I now have hope that I can eat of thanksgiving and not gain weight! ;o)

My issue isn't that you can't make it fit into your round hole, my issue is that if you are an emotional eater there are more issues at work here than just "does it fit into my calories" (even though that's the basic question). Have the damn pie, but eat it a slice a day for six days and learn to control the emotional eating instead of piling on the additional feelings (both physically and psycholoically) of giving in to sticking your face in an entire pie. The question is about calories, the issue is all of the underlying attachments.

REALISTICALLY depending on the amount of calories in the pie, you will more than likely just gain the weight of the pie and then feel totally ****ty about yourself the next couple of days AFTER you ate the stuff. i've been there, and hell i've gone tto the point where i've eaten a whole pizza! and not a small one! sure it felt great, did i gain any weight from eating like a fatty?? SURE but IMO and it reflected the day after and the next few days, THE NEXT DAY I DID GAIN WEIGHT but i know it was mailny from, not only the calories, but it was just the WEIGHT of the pizza that reflected on the scale. so if your going to eat a whole pie, hold it up to yourself in the miror and say i'm gonna eat this, step on the scale with it, and boom, your looking at your weight about, maybe minus 1 or 1.5 pounds depending on the time you eat the pie and thats wha tyou will weight he next day. NOW the next day AFTER eating the pie will really depend on how it will stay with you, if you punish youreslf and run excessively or exorcise the next day, or the easiest, starve yourself, then the next day you wont really notice a weight gain cause you will work it off or if your not eating, it will balance out your not eating for a whole day.

so just really reflect and see how you want to do it. just remember losing say 3 pounds is A LOT easier to eat than lose. and its always easier to MAINTAIN your weight hten lose 100 pounds, like you did. so just really think about it, and REALLY TRY TO TAKE BREAKS between your slices.

we've all been there, again, to the point where we say **** it, and as many as some people want to admit it, they've indulged in their own ways to counteract that emotion. so if your gonna, again, take about 20 minutes between the slices so you dont gorge, as glorious and relaxing it seems to eat away your frustrations, you give in now, and it will only continue, you break now, you will break down like this again......and again.......AND AGAIN. but no one can stop you, we can all give our opinions, and TO ME ifyou posted it, then your looking for someone's right answer to not do it because you want to know if you will really gain the weight of a pie (regular size) made to feed 8 people, you will consume alone. so yes..you will gain weight, and it may stick with you, depending how you punish yourself w/in the next few days.


hope that helps, if not, then hey, thats my honest answer. haha its like were talking you out of a suicide!! (sorry, just reading through it all its what it seems like, well, a diet suicide)

It all comes down to calories in vs calories out.. If you eat the whole pie how many calories is it.. how many calories according to mfp do you have to eat all day. If at the end of the day the number is green and not - and red you are okay ;-)

If you're gonna do it anyway, why ask?

I think you're in a bad mood for some reason, and instead of taking routes to help yourself feel better-- walk, talk to a friend, go kick a puppy-- you're going to purposely sabotage yourself.

On sale or not, that pie is gonna cost you some self-respect afterward.

I say this with love, as a fellow glutton.

I say punt the pup and may be mow down a kitten...sersously though you know eating a whole pie wont help with how you feel. You know it and I know it. we all know it. Have a couple slices. Your an adult, its your life, do what you want.

You eat the whole thing? I was going to say "go for it"

I understand having a craving like that, but doesn't one or two peices do the trick?

Why do you WANT to eat the whole thing?

It honestly doesn't seem like a serious question. If you were really serious about weight loss, it's these types of thoughts that you should look at changing.

I've lost over 100lbs, I am serious about this!

It's all about the calories. And wow... a whole pie, that just sounds like "ooof... " You HAVE lost 100 pounds... You have lost OVER 100 pounds... Why are you even thinking about this?
