Will you only gain weight if you go over 3500cal?

Question

I don’t understand how weight gain happens....so do you only gain weight if you go over 3500 calories or? Lol

Answer

I can’t imagine eating that many calories 🤢

Answer

You gain weight when you don't burn off more than you take in.  For example If you eat 2000 calories a day and don't burn more than that (with exercise, and or weightlifting, and or lots of cardio or just have a physically demanding job) you'll continue to gain.

Answer

It depends on a ton of factors. The most important factor is burning calories vs consuming calories. To maintain weight most people need to eat 2000 calories because that's how much we burn (without exercise basically). I've never heard of the 3500 calorie thing, youd likely gain weight if you ate that much.

Answer

Get the app Lifesum, you put all your info in and your goal weight and it tells u how much calories you should be consuming to meet that goal!! I use it to lose weight, but gaining weight is an option when u sign up

Answer

No. To gain weight you need to be in a calorie surplus. Whether that is 2000 calories or more has alot of factors! Including BMR BMI activity level/exercise. I personally gain at around 1800 calories if I'm not working out.
