A member asked:
Can you gain weight from lying down after eating. (not sleeping) basicly doing nothing after eating?

Calories: Anytime you don't burn excess calories you will gain weight. Your body is buring calories all the time even during sleep. Generally laying down flat immediately after eating not recommended more because full belly more likely to reflux.
