how much fat can u gain in a wk?

[bpm1]

im going on a cruise, yeh yeh!! ok so im cutting right now and going along real good. my concern is i dont want to stress about the diet on the cruise cause it is my vacation and the food is off the hook.so im wondering how much fat can u gain in a wk? i dont drink so thats not an issue, im sure ill come back waterlogged as i really watch my sodium now and everything will be loaded w/salt im sure. what u guys think?

[Snrf]

depends how much food you eat....don't think theres necessarily a limit

[zimmy]

eat like a pig and stay inactive you can gain like 5-6 lbs :P

[bpm1]

i will be working out daily, weights 4 days and cardio at least 5 of the 7

3500 cals = 1 lb

Thats all you need to know.

I thought 10k equaled 1 lb of fat?

just because your going on vaction doesn't mean your diet has to break tooo much per se.. you can make smart choices imo

u r right. i plan on keeping my pro/fat , and pro/carb meal combos but im sure the portions wont match. the main thing really is i dont want to be stressing about it the whole time. ive got ocd big time and i find myself getting a knot in my stomach just thinking about it and worring about getting it wrong. oh well i guess i can tell u all how i ate and how much i gained. it really sucks that u could gain 10 lbs in a wk and it could take 1 month or more to get it off. oh well if it was easy everybody would be ripped and that sure as hell isnt the case!

I ate like a pig for a week straight last week on Spring Break (and I turned 21 give me a break!) I didn't gain a pound, I stayed at 220, but I was alot softer

i was looking for a response like this my only problem is im 32 and at 21 icould eat anything and not gain. well, i'll let u all know what happens, thanks!!

you'll put on alot of water weight due to the fact alot of junk foods are loaded with sugar and sodium. but, 1 week wont KILL you, just don't let it happen for a longgg time

[CoreyTampa09]

imo, if your working out while on the cruise...doin some swimming youll be more active then normal...so if persay you dont continue cutting but eat around maintence you could be ok with the extra activty you will have....alcohol not included.

its freaking vacation man. this is your big cheat. enjoy your life a little. or in this case... enjoy that cruise!

I suppose one reason why I didn't gain alot of weight is because I walked around Florida all day everyday

[rodosman]

No, C bino is correct. 1 pound=3500 cals

[bpm1]

so i have to eat 3500 fat calories or food that turns to fat to gain a lb of fat. cause i dont think 3500 clean calories = lb of fat, right? not arguing just trying to understand better.

[bpm1]

for those of u who havent been on a cruise, u could EASILY put down 8k of calories in a day. eating on a cruise becomes an artform. last time i went they gave a stat that the average cruiser gains 12 lbs in a wk, but i think alot of that is water, i hope anyway. thats why im asking how much FAT can u gain in a wk.

On my cruise I came back 2lbs lighter....could've been the alchohol, but 1 week later I was back at the same. I mean I just don't see how your body could keep storing fat over 7days, I would think you'd just be shitting like crazy for awhile and feeling soo full. Cruises kick ass tho, I was eating lobster, tilapia, mahi-mahi, salmon, steak etc etc all the time...awesome.

WORD! im so stoked man, last time i came back lighter too. only it was food poisoning from mex so i was puking out my arse for the last 2 days and actually lost 3 lbs, but that sucked. i dont remember how much i gained on my first one but i deff gained.

just don't go overboard on the midnight buffet, pizza and free soft serve.

although that won't be easy

3500 EXCESS calories will add 1lb of weight, fat/muscle depends on working out bla bla.

But it does not matter if it comes from good or bad food. You have an excess of 3500kcals sittin in your body and your sitting on a cruise ship you are gaining a pound of fat bro. So that being said if you eat 3500kcals over your maintenace each day you will gain 7lbs of fat.

[ChaoticLifter]

If you eat at the three regular meal times that most people eat at, you might not gain any. Are you going to drop all of your protein, carbs, and 5-7 meals a day? U could also gain alot. Three regular cruise meals a day at 1000-2500 cal a pop can have you screaming fat a** very quickly.

+1...even if u go crazy you can get it back in no time when you get back into your routine...have a good time bro
