How much fat can one person gain?

[colos99]

I was kinda curious as to how much weight one person can gain, not muscle mass.

If one was a couch potato and all they did was eat junk food all day could someone gain 30-40 pounds of fat in a month?

Not that they would want to but is Is that possible?

30 days of eating 6-7K calories in a day of nothing but potato chips, chocolate pizza etc. or is there a limit as to how much weight would actually be put on.

Did you see the movie "Supersize me" I think it's called? That guy ate McDonalds every meal for a month and gained some serious weight.

Just looked it up. He gained 25 lbs in 21 days eating 5,000 cals a day.

I saw that movie - it totally grossed me out. Especially when the doctor told him to stop or he was going to be eight feet under.

I waited for a couple days before I had an order of fries at Mickey D's
