ESPECIALLY in a positive calorie balance.(Your eating more than you burn.) After carbs are broken down by the body, they need to go somewhere. Your muscles are full of glycogen because you haven't and aren't going to exercise. And your liver will probably be filled up also. Since your insulins levels are high from the simple sugars now, your body is desperately trying to remove glucose from your blood stream. The only place left for it, is in the form of fat tissue. Should've had some protein.
