Bingo. Large fat deposits doesn't just come from caloric intake. vs. caloric burn. 2500 Calories a day on the preferred diet when one burns about 1000 calories in exercise a day (and the rest with digestion and other regular activities) is basically optimum.
2500 calories a day on McDonalds? Morgan Spurlock gained 24 lbs. in less than 30 days in "Supersize Me", and he was exercising regularly during the shooting (when he wasn't vomiting). His BMI rose 4 points. In a given day, he had a sausage mcmuffin (~370c), hash (150c), 2 hamburgers (500c), small fries (230c), a small coke (150c), and a double quarter pounder (740c), medium fries (380c), and a medium diet coke (0c). That's almost exactly 2500c. Compare a diet like that to a 2500c healthy diet like mine. Yesterday I had: 2 cups oatmeal (300c) + 1 cup 2% milk (120c) + about 1 oz. of almonds (126c) + 1 scoop whey protein powder (110c) + a grapefruit (75c), fillet of Atlantic cod (189c) + a few spears broccoli (maybe 20c), Orange Berry Blitz Jamba Juice (540c), chicken florentine (500ish?) + 1 glass of pinot grigio (114c) + 1 cup of vanilla ice cream (200c). That's about 2300c. On my diet, with regular exercise, one could be in great shape. Actually, one IS in great shape.
