    I have had a few stretches in my life where I gained about one pound per day. It’s easy: just eat 3500 extra calories per day (so 6000 calories for an average-sized man). Maybe this is difficult for some people, but I never had any problem eating an entire box of Little Debbie zebra cakes in one sitting as a snack (that’s about 1500 calories right there).

    The truly horrifying thing about weight gain vs. weight loss is how easy the former is compared to the latter. Burning off that quickly-forgotten Little Debbie snack requires either a 25 mile 2 hour bike ride or eating 2000 calories a day instead of 2500 (which does suck) for an entire week.

    I read about Christian Bale drinking tubs of microwaved ice-cream to weight gain and I hope that is not a normal occurence for anyone.
