Can calories turn to fat

Answer 1

Yes, calories are used for fuel by your body. However, if you consume them in excess, the excess will turn into fat to make you overweight. One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Because you have to eat more calories than you burn, you would have to eat 3500 extra calories over a seven-day period before gaining one lb. of fat. That equals 500 extra calories a day.

Answer 2

I too wondered about this question when I was young and chubby. The avearage calories for a person is 2000 calories. if you have more calories than you should or over eating it is going to be used as fat. How this works is that your body need calories for your body to work properly by burning calories as you run ,do activities , even walk. but that extra calories over 2000 limit is turned into fat because we didnt use it. But if you keep track of calories you will be on the road to skinny or regular I do advise to excersise yourself everyday pushing yourself to gain muscle. Now muscle is the type of effect you want not fat. Just to make this sound easier

Eat over 2000 gain weight

Hoped this helped!
