If you were to somehow consume 10000 calories in one day, would you in fact gain 2 lbs that day? Probably not. I figure at a certain point your body can't process all the energy you're putting in and expels the extra as waste. The question is, what is that limit? -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

Might've been fun, though . . . -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
