How can i know if i am overeating?

Too Much Weight Gain: In general, people are overeating if they are gaining exessive amounts of weight. If you are taking in more calories than you need, you will gain weight. There are times in our lives when weight gain is important or necessary, such as during development or when needing to store up extra calories for certain purposes. Again, in general it is good for adults to maintain stable, healthy weights.

You'd know best.: Do you often eat to the point that you're uncomfortably full? Do you continue to eat even though you're satisfied? Do you eat very late at night or get up overnight and eat? Do you wait until you're hungry before eating or do you eat when not really hungry?
