Do I need to exercise?
Hi my doctor put me on a 1200 calorie a day diet and said I should do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. I have been doing an hour to 1 and 1/2 hours every day.

What if I ate McDonald's all day from morning to night and consumed 17,500 calories or more throughout the day. By eating maybe once every hour or two. Technically wouldn't that be 5 pounds of fat? Is…
