Over eating.
The human body stores excess glucose as glycogen. The storage areas for glycogen are limited, therefore any carbohydrates that are consumed beyond that capacity is stored as fat, of which the body can store an unlimited amount.
Excess fat storage can lead to a number of health conditions. High blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and strokes can all be attributed in part to the accumulation of excess fat.
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
The liver converts excess energy-containing nutrients, such as carbohydrates, into glycogen for short-term energy storage. When glycogen stores are full, the liver then converts excess nutrients into triglycerides for long-term energy storage as fat.
The excess of food that is stored in the human body is known as fat. A person must be mindful of having too much fat storage, as this can cause a strain on the body.
Any energy-yielding nutrients that are ingested in excess will be stored as body fat.
Bears store excess calories as fat to get them through the winter hibernation when they do not feed.
Energy-yielding nutrients consumed in excess, particularly carbohydrates and fats, can lead to storage of fat. When these nutrients are not utilized as immediate energy, they are converted and stored as fat in the body for later use.

Starch is broken down into glucose in the body. Excess glucose that is not immediately needed for energy is converted into glycogen for storage. When glycogen stores are full, the excess glucose is converted into fat for long-term storage. This process helps the body maintain energy balance.
Someone can be muscular but still have excess fat on their body if they have a high muscle mass but also a high percentage of body fat. This can happen if they consume more calories than they burn, leading to the storage of excess fat in their body even though they have developed muscles through exercise.
The medical term for excess fat in the feces is steatorrhea. This condition can result from malabsorption disorders, pancreatic insufficiency, or other digestive issues that prevent the proper absorption of fats in the intestines.
