How long before you start storing fat when going over?

I've had two pretty bad days, although not much over my TDEE, but my weight hasn't moved.

How long does it take for your body to store the excess calories when you go over?

you always store fat when you go over, but it's not going to be any noticable amount in one or two days. You need to eat 3500 calories more than your TDEE to gain 1lb of fat. That's a lot of overeating. People lose fat slowly and gain fat slowly. Sudden weight changes, e.g. 1lb overnight or during the course of a day, is due to water weight fluctuations, or from having more food in your digestive system (or less poop).

I'm curious too! Usually when I overeat it shows on my face. Especially when I've eaten high sodium or high in carbs. I get a carb face!
