I have an odd question.

Suppose a person ate an 8 ounces of some really fattening high calorie food.

Can the food make the person gain more weight than the 8 ounces the original food weighed?

It depends.

When you gain weight, what is actually happening is your body is storing sugars, carbs, and fats as fat (energy for future use), which requires the growth of fat storage cells. So theoretically, if you are very inactive and your body immediately converts every ounce of the fattening food into fat (and none is spent on digestion or respiration, things like that) then it is possible that the combination of the fat storage cells and teh fat being stored could weigh slightly more than the food you ate.

and if there is a lot of salt in it you might retain water as weight.
