I have been eating whatever I want, as much as I want for some time now and have already gained 72 pounds. It wasn't planned, I've just been enjoying being fat and lazy. I average around 5000 calories a day. I was told at some point I would hit a plateau and stop gaining weight, but I wasn't sure when. My thinking was that there was a weight that would be maintained at 5000 calories a day, and if I got to that point I wouldn't get any bigger.
According to an online calorie calculator, I would have to be 750 lbs to eat as much as I'm eating now and not keep gaining weight! This sucks. I was hoping I could continue my leisurely lifestyle of gluttony for years to come, but I guess the party will have to end soon. Nuts!

I saw the same calculator as you. BUT! Do not despair. My old friend found a calculator that said 6000 calories a day would be 386 lbs.Too big I know. But I think a lot more scientific and reasonable chart.
At your current rate you still have several months of enjoyment ahead before you reach double your original weight. So Enjoy! Eat. Love. Grow.
