It depends on how many you eat. If you eat 3,500 calories worth, you'll gain a pound
You gain weight by taking in more calories than you use. Eat fats or sugar (i.e. nuts and fruits) you gain calories, if you do not use the energy produced by those calories you gain weight, it is stored as fat in your body.
If you are that worried about gaining weight, for every candy bar you eat do like 40 sit ups or jog a mile or ride a bike. I don't think you'll gain weight from eating a little bit, but I don't know how fast your metabolism is. It's ok to treat yourself every now and then : )
No. its not plus ur dail amount of calories.!
If you consume 3,500 calories then yeah
You would think that if you eat one pound you would gain one pound....but that's not true...it depends on the calories. Butter has more calories
How many unused calories is what's important here. Remember that you're burning calories just sitting around- about 80 an hour or so. You burn at least 1000 calories in a day just breathing, thinking and so on. A pound of fat contains roughly 4082 calories. So you'd have to consume 4082 calories beyond what you burn in a day to gain a pound of fat. Conversely, you'd need to burn 4082 calories more than you consume to lose a pound of fat. That may seem like a lot, but realize that an extra hundred calories a day, everyday, over the course of a lifetime can really add up, a pound a month, 12 pounds a year. A pound is equivalant to 453.592 grams, and 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. Therefore 453.592 grams per pound*9 calories per gram of fat= 4082.328 calories per pound. But in all reality all of those calories wouldn't be stored as fat. They could be stored as protein or carbohydrates, which both contain 4 calories per gram, so plug in four instead and you get 1814.368 calories per pound. So calories needed to gain a pound are 1814.368 to 4082.328 calories.
