Weight gain plateau?

Let's say that someone were to fall off a diet, does your body just keeping putting on fat weight for every extra calorie you consume past your burned cals, or does your body plateau weight gain just like weight lost?

I'm no doctor, but I'm sure if you eat 4000 calories a day you'd gain weight continually. That's one reason there are obese people. I've never heard of a plateau weigh gain. Hope this helps.

You can plateau on weight gain if you eat around the same number of calories a day.   I plateaued at 235.   I never weighed more than that and was stuck there for a while (thankfully I never gained more than that).   It's all in what you eat and how much.

If you consume 3000 calories a day you'll gain up until the point that 3000 is what you need to maintain.   That would be about 250 for 3K calories a day without exercise.


Oh and it takes 3500 calories for a pound of fat to be deposited.   So say you eat an extra 200 over your maintenance each day.    It would take 2.5 weeks before the first pound ever showed up.
