Hey All,
If I was to go crazy and have a big christmas dinner, eating far more than my daily maintenance calories, how long does it take these extra calories to turn into fat on the body?

For example, if on christmas day I go stupid and consume a total of 6000 calories (just an example), take away my daily maintenance calories of 2500, leaves me with 3500 calories...which is equal to 1 lb of fat. Will I wake up the next morning to see this 1lb of fat around my wasteline, or does it take a few days to get there? Along those lines, if I was to wake up the next morning and do a morning and evening cardio session, say 2 hours long or something, would I be able to burn up those calories before they turn to fat?

Cheers,
Jez.

One day will not hurt you if you go right back to a solid diet. If every calorie we ate turned to fat, we would all be in trouble.
