Could lying down after eating ( not sleeping) make you fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obesity: Obesity, or being overweight, is unlikely to occur because of lying down after eating. Rather, it generally occurs because of a chronic intake of more calories than are being expended on a daily basis. Body position is far less important than how much is being eaten.
