How much weight can I gain in 3 days?

Even if you really overeat from your normal intake, it would likely be in the range of 1,000-2,000 excess calories per day. So for a 3-day weekend, that would be a total body fat gain for the weekend of only 1-2 pounds.

Can overeating for 3 days cause weight gain?

Eating 1,000 extra calories a day for five days did not lead to any significant changes in weight, fat mass, or fasting blood sugar levels. But chronic overeating—eating 1,000 extra calories a day over the course of a month—was linked to a fat-mass increase of about 3 pounds, as well as increases in blood sugar.

Will I gain weight from overeating for a few days?

One day of binge eating may add a pound or two, but it's temporary water weight, not fat. Continuously eating more calories than your body needs -- day after day -- is what causes fat gain. Consult with your doctor if you think your binge eating is out of control and is affecting your weight.

What to do after overeating for 3 days?

Just sip on a cup of water (about 8 ounces) after a big meal. It can help your body get rid of excess salt you likely got from your meal. It can also keep you from getting constipated. Continue to drink water over the rest of the day to keep yourself hydrated.
