I ate REALLY badly the last two days-Am I going to gain weight?!


Question: I ate REALLY badly the last two days-Am I going to gain weight!?
I probably had 5000 calories each day! I feel terrible!. I run cross country, but we got these last two days off (Ugh, even worse!)!. I'm 5'8, 120 (hopefully still) pounds, and I'm 16 years old!.

Am I going to get stretch marks!?

Please no rude comments, I really am worried about this!. D:Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat!. You consumed 10,000 but your body probably burned up over 4,000 doing nothing!. You're definitely not going to get stretch marks!. Some people actually have effective diets in which they cycle their calories to keep their metabolism high to prevent the body from going into "starvation" mode!. So just consider your intake for the last 2 days as a way of spiking your metabolism!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably yes!.

Why!? Because weight control is a rather simple equation in understanding energy balance which is the key to losing weight successfully!.

Calorie intake > Calorie use ==> Weight Gain

Calorie intake = Calorie use ==> No change in body weight

Calorie intake < Calorie use ==> Weight loss

Losing weight does not mean avoiding food!. Instead, eat less food that is high in fat and added sugar!. Eat a variety of plant-based food like whole grains, fruit and vegetables!. These food provide bulk and promote the feeling of fullness!.

Eat regular meals and avoid skipping meals as it may lead to overeating at subsequent meals!.
