By ‘weight gain’ I mean weight that would be retained once the food/liquid has passed. So muscle mass and fat gained.
(Simplified) The upper threshold of weightloss is calories in calories out. If I eat nothing in a day I will lose the amount of weight my body burned. Approx 3500cal/lbs.
What is the upper threshold of weight gain? I presume my body can only produce so much muscle and store so much fat in a given time period. If I managed to stuff 35,000 calories down my gullet, I wouldn’t gain 10lbs. Most of it would pass unused.

Somebody please eat as much as they can possibly hold and then do nothing for the next few days. For science.
