If you calculate your BMR this will tell you how many calories your body needs a day to maintain its weight. If you then consume 500 extra calories a day for a full week you should gain around a pound in weight. So I would say the answer is 3500 calories.

What is the define of the word calorie?

The Calorie (the upper case "C" is relevant) is an obsolete pre-SI Metric unit defined as the amount of heat required to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celcius. As this amount depends on the starting temperature, one Calorie (strictly speaking, a kilocalorie) varies in value (approximately4.2 Joules) and has only been specifically defined as a Thermochemical Calorie (4.184 J exactly). Calorie continues in use only as a unit of food energy. Technically, "calorie" (lower case "c") is a gram calorie with a value one-thousanth of a Calorie, however, the distinction is often not made. The word calorie derives from Latin, via French "calor" meaning heat.

Choose the best definition of calorie.?

A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy, specifically the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. It is commonly used to quantify the energy content in food and the energy expenditure of living organisms. In nutrition, the term "calorie" often refers to a kilocalorie (kcal), which is equal to 1,000 small calories.
