This is a question i have been considering for a while. If you undereat we all know that your body deals with it by reducing its metabolisum and less of the difference between normal maintaince calories is actually used to burn fat etc. adversly if you overeat ? is there a point where you body will not metabolise everything into fat because there is to much? such as a way that your body is compensating for the fact that it is getting to much food.

Idealy overeating is not a good thing. but if you do, on say christmas have an excessive amount of calories, is it required to make up ALL of the extra calories, or does it reduce exponentially the more yu eat.

Thansk in advance for your repsonses :)
 
No, not really. Our bodies are very adaptive, and they are adapted for our best chance of survival. When we overeat our body stores everything it possibly can as fat, because that leaves us the best chance of survival in the long run. Since we evolved without any opportunity to eat ourselves to death, our body has no defense against that as you suggest. Overeating was only ever a good thing when we became as we are
