Question about calories lol?

Question

I know in order to gain a pound you have to eat, well so many calories, but, is it true that you can also gain weight by eating more calories then you burn, for example, if i  were to eat a microwaveable pizza that is 370 calories a pizza and then did nothing would i gain weight, this bugs the crap out of me because people tell me that in order to gain weight you have to eat a lot of calories but what if you eat more then you burn even tho its a low amount of calories can you see a weight change after a while if you do that, or eat like crazy and don't move or do little moving, so can anybody help me out here, thanks alot to all who does lol

You have to eat 3500 calories more than you burn in order to gain a pound of fat. You're forgetting that your body burns through more than 1000 calories every day just to keep you alive and breathing. Every heartbeat, every breath takes calories. Digesting food takes calories. Detoxifying things in your liver takes calories. Maintaining your muscles takes calories. Thinking takes calories. You can plug your height and weight into a BMR calculator online and see how many calories your body burns if you do nothing but lie in bed all day without moving. Of course, this number doesn't reflect how many calories your body burns throughout a normal day; you need to take your BMR number and plug it into the Harris-Benedict equation (google it) to find the number of calories you burn on an average day. The number will probably be between 1500-2500 depending on your height, weight and activity level.

I'd say this might be from six hundred-800 energy....for eating plan/health calorie variety will have to be from a thousand - 1450 (varies consistent with age/weight/ and such of direction).... you will have to consume just a little extra to gasoline your frame up so it doesnt retailer the fats because the energy you have cheated your frame on.
