How many calories would be stored if a 130 lbs person consumed 6,000 or more cal in a one single day one time a month ?
This question irked me a lot, because I remember I have eaten more that 6000 cal during some special parties and events.
But I didn't gained weight, which may mean that the body does not store the food it takes at one time, may be it has an intake limit and it throws anything that exceeds its capacity.
Suppose the limit is 3000 cal, thus eating 3000 cal in one single day is like eating 6000 cal

Since 3000 and 6000 would have the same damaging effect on my BMI i would prefer to consume 6000 instead of 3000.
