Calories vs food weight for overnight weight gain
Posted , 3 users are following.
Let’s say person A eats a food which is 500 calories before bed, and person B eats a food which is 100 calories before bed, but the two foods weigh the exact same. Would the person who ate the higher calorie food experience larger weight gain upon waking up and why? I realize long term that the person who eats more calories gains more weight (ignoring factors such as exercise, metabolism, etc.) but I’m curious to know if it makes a difference overnight, since I weigh myself every morning.

Weigh the same
However food is fuel and you have fueled inactivity while you sleep - non sequitur
Way forward is consider the market forces in play to buy and consume their processed food
They have determined the ratio of fat/sugar that TASTE delicious and give more calories than you ever needed
They have salted starchy food wherein you will feel "Hungary" sooner
Your real question is not Weigh but Way. Fare well

Interesting little hypothetical situation but I think it can be cleared up easily. Instead of food imagine that one drinks a can of fizzy stuff and the other drinks an equivalent amount of water. You would need some very sensitive scales to record a difference overnight but I imagine that you will be able to see a difference over weeks/months which would prove that the calorie drinker would be heavier in the morning than the water drinker, all other things being equal.
Cheers...
