Hey guys,
Just wondering what an approximate amount of time for excess calories to turn to fat is? Like 24 hours? A week?
Im just asking as last night I had a huge binge eating session and had my body fat taken this morning and I had lost fat, but im worried that the calories wouldnt have been converted yet and will slow me down for my next body fat test next week?
Thanks for any help.

This is the only site I could find relating to my question, although it is pretty vague I now think its pretty safe to say ill be on track for next week.

I still have one doubt about this though. If all the excess calories are converted to fat within a 8 hour period wouldnt that mean if you over ate one day by 7000 calories (I realise thats a lot but its definately possible) you would gain 2 pounds of fat? That cant be right.

Why though do you believe it would be beneficial to our system to extremely overeat 1 - 2 times per month? For our metabolism or something else?
