How Many Extra Meals Are You Carrying Around?

Here’s a different way to look at all the extra fat you’re carrying around. See, your body stores any extra calories you eat as fat, right? Your body thinks, “Hey, it might be a while before we get some food, so let’s stash away all this extra energy.”
The problem is, for most of you reading this, the next meal is not very far away. You don’t even have to go out to “hunt and gather” — chances are you’ll “walk and raid (the fridge)” or “drive and order (some fast food).”
So, for every 3500 extra calories you eat, your body gains 1lb of fat.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument (and easier calculations!) that an average, healthy meal is 500 calories (normal portion consisting of protein, carbs and some fat).
That would make 1lb of extra fat the equivalent of SEVEN meals!
