Explanation

When you eat a lot of calories in one sitting, your body might store the extra energy as fat. This can lead to weight gain over time. Studies show that eating too many calories, especially from foods high in fat and carbohydrates, can change how your body uses energy.

Effects of Overeating:

  1. Weight Gain: Eating more calories than your body needs can lead to storing the excess as body fat.
  2. Energy Use: Your body might not use energy as effectively, which can affect your metabolism.
  3. Food Choices: Foods that are high in fat or processed can cause you to eat more calories without feeling full.

It's important to be mindful of how much and what kinds of food you eat to stay healthy. If you have questions about your diet, talking to a healthcare provider can help.
