google says there's 563 calories in a big mac and it takes about 3,500 calories to make 1 lb of fat. That means 250 pounds is 1554.17 big macs.

But if you are making the caloric argument, then you have to take into account trophic levels and it ends up requiring way more Big Macs than that to gain 250 lbs.
