When exactly does food turn into weight?

Question

Hi, I am trying to gain weight so i eat a lot. But i always wondered, when exactly does excess food turn into muscle, fat or other stuff in the body? Where and how does that happen? All I could find on the web is just “you eat stuff and ya da ya da it turns to fat!” Lol.

thanks for answers.

Basically all the time everything happens at once. You burn and store fat simultanously, at the same time youre building muscle if needed (they needed to be stimulated) and if you have protein. If youre not gaining fat then youre burning more energy than you provide to your body
