If I were to eat a thousand Snickers bars, I would put on significantly more weight than if I were to eat a thousand heads of cabbage despite the huge disparity in weight of the pre-consumed food. Where does this mass come from?

Question

Per Google:

A regular Snickers bar is 57 grams, and is good for 280 calories.

An entire head of cabbage is ~714 grams, and is ~176 calories.

Being much more calorie-dense, the Snickers bar would naturally result in greater weight gain. But where does this weight come from when the pre-consumed product is so light? Is the difference just what your body expels through heat/faeces?

Answer 1

If you eat a 57 gram Snickers bar it is impossible to put on more than 57 grams of weight. I’m not really sure what you’re looking for here.
