Explanation / Answer

Meal is composition of mix of saturated fats and protein from the meat and polysaccharide from the pasta.

If you eat eat excess triglycerides, proteins and corbohydrates from your food then then your body stores energy as glycogen or fat to use after some time. So these compounds get stored in liver, muscles and fat cells. Some excess calories you may consume from the corbohydrates and also stored in the form of glycogen in primarily in liver and muscles.
