Will I gain weight if I have one extreme binge night?

I'm about 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 125 pounds... I normally dont eat much and if I do it's healthy like fatfree organic and last night I went all out cheeseburger cheese fries ice-cream soda brat pizza and candied nuts... I did yoga this morning and I usually workout when I have the energy so I'm pretty fit... WILL I GAIN WEIGHT?!?Will I gain weight if I have one extreme binge night?
Nope. One night of overeating will NOT hurt you. You may gain some initial water weight, but it should go away within a couple of days. As long as you don't make it a habit, you'll be fine! (:Will I gain weight if I have one extreme binge night?
You will. BUT it takes 3500 calories to put on on single pound. So don't stress out over that. If you eat healthy and drink plenty of water for the rest of the week you will be fine :) I know it may suck right now, but it'll be over if you don't think about it.

Edit: Oh and I also forgot to add, if you're up like 2 pounds it's just water weight! :)

yep
Who cares about your weight on the scale? I don’t and neither should you.

I would surely not categorize “fat free” anything as healthy food.



Do not have a “diet” diet, where you’re told what to eat, just eat healthy, have a simple healthy diet, so you can satisfy your cravings and answer your body’s need for some missing nutrients. If I’m building muscle mass, I’ll need a lot of carbs to do the weight training (because it’s anaerobic and fat burning shuts down) and then I’ll get huge cravings for eggs, nuts or a good juicy filet mignon (need for proteins for the “repairing stronger” part) otherwise, I would only eat eggs or meat like once a week.



Eating healthy is about avoiding the unhealthy food as much as possible. Once you stay away from fast food (any restaurant food, really), packaged and boxed food (except for bread, pasta and rice, if you don’t make your own bread/pasta), canned food, prepared and processed food, then you’re left with the fruits/veggies, whole wheat food (the brown kind of bread, pasta), brown rice, legumes (beans, peas, lentils...), lean meat, low fat dairies, eggs and the good kind of oil (olive, avocado, nuts, fish). You can have any of the bad stuff occasionally so they don’t become forbidden obsessions. Have some French fries, or one slice of pizza (with your favorite veggies) or a cookie, or a cheese burger, once in a while. Just don’t do it every day and watch out for portion sizes.

Also the cooking method can double the calorie content of a meal, so learn about healthy cooking without having to add extra fats, like using a steamer (using water), a rotisserie (using heat and herbs), a slow cooker (using homemade broth and herbs), a pressure cooker, a grill…



Once you cook your own meals, you can control the calorie content because your control the cooking method and all the ingredients. A lot of people are overweight because they keep eating food that they did not cook.
