What happens in the body after eating a grease smothered meal, and how does the body adjust to constantly eating greasy foods?

It stores what you absorb as fat or burns it as fuel if you don’t get energy primarily from sugar/carbs
You mean fats? Body does the same thing with fats as with proteins and carbs – use them for energy.
It goes further than this though and both fats and proteins are necessary in some amounts for the organs to function properly. Carbs are not.
Grease is liquefied fat. You need the molecules and compounds in the fats to make nerves, connective tissue, and hormones.
The liver produces bile and the gallbladder stores bile. When you eat greasy foods your gall bladder releases vile into your stomach to break fats down into their base compounds.
If you eat too much fat the liver will turn it into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis and you can either burn it or convert it into human fat for later use.
