Fat gain

[jdm4936]

Is there a limit to the amount of fat one can gain in a day?

Does anyone have any ideas?

You will burn a given number of calories during any given day based upon a number of factors. Calories consumed ABOVE this amount will typically result in weight gain... You can only store so much muscle and liver glycogen and you can only build so much muscle in one day.... but the amount of lard you can gain has to do with how much crap you can shove down your throat.
So to answer your question... no.

Why would you want to know that? It's useless to measure your progress daily, weight gain may be due to fluid retention, muscle glucogen, etc

Is your goal to gain as much fat in one day as possible?

I dont understand this thread... Really, It takes time to build up fat, just like it does muscle. But be careful, eat like crap for long and you will be fat lol.

Your body is extremely efficient at storing fat. There isn't really a limit to the amount you can gain in a day. However, I doubt you'll be able to gain all that much because of the limits of your digestive tract

I love it when bodybuilders navel-gaze.

At some point I heard you can gain about 0.5 lb of fat per week. Like actually have your body store and establish that as part of its composition. Additional fluctuation in weight is going to be primarily due to water, but in consistently overfeeding yourself or nutritoinally starving yourself, you are setting up your metabolism to slow down its burn rate - so you might not be gaining a discrete amount of fat in a given day, but rather just establishing a lower potential for building muscle / burning fat or generally efficiently metabolizing the stuff you eat.
