The question is how you calculate or define excess. For one, excess calories aren't 100% stored as fat. We're not that efficient.

Additionally the fatter you are the more calories you use at rest. So there's a point where if you consistently eat too much you'll stop gaining weight.

The biggest source of error here will be the calories in the garbage bin though. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this is stored in the waste disposal, not the waist disposal.

If I throw away 500 calories of food, I'm not eating an excess 500 calories. Let's not engage in equivocation

If you don't read the main part of my reply, why do you even reply with snarky nastiness.
