Are there any foods so calorically dense you can gain a pound

>>42363398
Olive oil comes the closest I believe.

>>42363413
Actually wait it fits, 400 grams of olive oil is ~3550kcal which corresponds to roughly 1 pound (¨~454 grams) of body fat.

>>42363398
It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Carbs and protein are 4 calories per gram, so 875 grams of either would be required to gain a pound of body mass. 875g is about 1.93lb.

Fat on the other hand, is about 9 calories per gram. Which means you'd need to consume around 389g of fat to gain 1 pound of body mass. 389g is around 0.858 pounds.

That's assuming you're eating/drinking pure fat, like >>42363413 said with oil, or tallow.

>thinking it depends on food

It depends on your body to absorb thoes nutrients. Get more stomach acid.

how would the extra grams come into existence??

>what is the law of conservation of mass?
You're not going to gain more weight than what you put in, it's physically impossible.

dark matter and gamma rays

you stupid?
it's about the energy food contains, not about the weight.

>>42363494
>law of conservation of mass
Only applies in a thermodynamically closed system. Don't use physics you don't fully understand.

>>42363493
If this is a serious question, the rest comes from water weight.

How the fuck does that make sense if the water was in the food it would be accounted for in its weight if the water was in your body it would already be accounted for in its weight

>>42364054
They're not accounting for the weight of water and saying it isn't a factor apparently.
>>42363398
Just get an empty balloon, anchor it to a tooth or something, and swallow. It'll fill with water overtime. Boom free bodyweight if you can tie it off. Damn near no calories and if it's some sort of acid-proof balloon or something it's there forever.

>>42363493
It doesn't. Each pound of human adipose tissue is one "jar" that can hold 3,500 calories.
When you eat 4,099 calories (one pound of olive oil) you fill 1.17 jars. But the jars themselves have weight which is the cellular/vascular stuff so your body can actually use/store the calories for later. You don't count the weight of empty fat cells because that would be stupid.

>>42364054
You get thirsty from eating fat.

It's more complicated than that but in essence you get more thirsty and your body holds onto more water.
