Well, the phrase "eating a lot" usually just means to consume a large amount of food. However, taken out of context, it can have a fun, slang interpretation.
In a casual setting, someone might say they're 'eating a lot' to humorously substitute for 'biting off more than they can chew'. It's a playful way to express that they might be taking on a lot of work or responsibility.
It's like if you plate up a feast at a buffet and your eyes were bigger than your stomach. Suddenly, you're "eating a lot" - also called juggling too many tasks or tackling big challenges. But hey, we all love a good all-you-can-eat buffet of life, don't we?
Remember though, this is informal and not a rule from your grammar textbooks. So use it wisely! All set to serve up some overloaded idioms of your own?
