Will I gain weight from the bowl of Cheerios I ate?

[Anonymous]

I only ate the serving size and it was just the regular cheerios. I have been losing weight but i think that is by how I've been keeping my diet all protein and healthy fats. this was the most carbs I've had in a week (20g)

i woke up feeling very faint because i didn't eat much yesterday so i had to get something like this in me when i came down for breakfast instead of egg whites

d00d don't do diet wrong man.

when you're asking people if you'll gain weight from eating a bowl of cheerios, like holy shit I can only imagine what you're doing and if you're torturing your body by not giving it what it needs.

but since I don't actually know, what is your diet like?

and if you burn more calories than you consume then you will not gain weight from that one serving size of cheerios, which.. FYI, you can burn it off easily.

I've been eating 300-400 calories a day plus running/walking 8-12 miles a day. i know this is basically anorexic but i need to lose weight for an acting role

holy shit.

okay well at least you recognize it yourself that it's bad, but seriously like I know I probably can't convince you to take the healthier route, so just don't turn this into a lifestyle. reach your goal, do your role, then get back on track. you know what happens to a body that is malnourished for too long? it breaks down and dies earlier, develops problems much sooner, this could range from contracting diseases to joint failure and muscle/bone density loss, because your body is physically weak, and it's getting weaker. it's gonna hit you hard in the long run if you don't put new oil in your engine but still drive it like you just bought it.

I think you can still achieve your goals while maintaining a healthier lifestyle. eating clean and upping your calorie intake to at least 1,200 a day while performing rigorous HIIT exercises to replace that 8-12 miles of walking.

yeah thats exactly my plan. its just that i need to reach a certain weight very quickly (7-14days) then i will start slowly increasing intake and doing HIIT

[BertMacklinFBI]

alright well I wish the best of luck and hope you get that role.

be safe

One anything isn't going to make you gain weight.

If you're feeling *faint*, you're doing this very very wrong. Your body needs energy to function! If you starve yourself, your metabolism will slow right down to conserve fat and energy. Plus, your body won't have any nutrients to repair and maintain your organs.

Not instantly. However, eating carbs when trying to lose fat is not advisable as your body utilizes the glucagon from the carb instead of converting the glycogen in your fat cells. So, don't panic but continue limiting your carb intake for the time being.

You gain weight when you take in more calories than you burn. It's that simple. So if you take in 3,000 cals and burn 2,500, you're up 500 calories
