This feels like a painfully stupid question but:
If you're baseline is say, 2500 calories and you consume 10,000 calories tomorrow (7k presumably containing tryptophan lol) then what percentage of that surplus will your body actually retain (for muscle, fat or whatever)?
There must be studies on it right? But I can't fathom that eating say 7k calories excess in one day would truly lead to a combined increase of 2lbs worth of muscle and/or fat. if if it's 10/90%.
Maybe I'm wrong. it's not a question I've ever had before so I'm tossing it to the internet to decide.
