I remember seeing an article somewhere that showed how much you would have to eat at fast food places in order to get to the 2000 calories daily recommended and most of the fast food places weren't that much more than a regular meal plus a little bit more stuff. So I would imagine reading fast food for lunch everyday combined with breakfast and dinner plus cokes and coffee during the day and unless you exercise you are now fat. Here is a similar graphic. https://storage.googleapis.com/titlemax-media/2018/04/what-1500-calories-looks-like-25-fast-food-restaurants-3.png

I guess it's just hard for me to believe that even eating 3000 calories a day would make a person really fat. It seems to me you would need to eat 5000 calories per day to get and stay obese. That's a shit ton of food.

But it is cumulative. Where you should be eating 2000-2500 calories you eat 3500-4500 and then you get used to eating to be full instead of eating for health. So every lunch and dinner you eat at or nearly what you should have all day for two or more meals every day and the fat just builds and builds. Then as the person gets heavier they stop doing any exercises they might have been doing so that makes them put on even more weight. Next thing you know years have passed and what was an extra 20 or 30 pounds becomes 100, 150.... And then an even bigger explosion.
