Reply to comment by marcuschookt in ELI5: If I were to eat a thousand Snickers bars, I would put on significantly more weight than if I were to eat a thousand heads of cabbage despite the huge disparity in weight of the pre-consumed food. Where does this mass come from? by marcuschookt
You're forgetting that your body changes those dry sugars into fat by adding water, so if you were dehydrated, you wouldn't put on the fat either - Though you could die from dehydration, so don't do that either. Your body is basically always 55-60% water, so if you're very heavy, you're storing a lot of water as well.
