Only if you eat too much. Use moderation.

It's not food that makes you fatter, it's stress.
You can experience a *temporary* weight gain or loss of up to 10% from dietary changes, but it's mostly water weight, and you will return from whence you came, in no time at all. Just ask anyone who has *tried* to gain weight by eating more.
You see, it's not "what you eat, minus what you use" that becomes a part of you. It's "what you eat, minus what you use, minus what gets flushed" that matters. If you eat more, more goes down the pipes.
Most people get insufficient amounts of fiber and insufficient amounts of calcium. There's a little calcium in cheese, but "mac and cheese" is cheese food, not cheese, and there's no calcium in the oil that they make the cheese food from. And neither has much fiber.
So they aren't the foods most people need most, but they aren't really *bad* foods unless they've been allowed to sit out, and they've started to sprout fur....

Apparently, you don't understand how the body metabolizes starchy foods such as pasta, potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans, breads, etc..
1. You eat the starchy food.
2. The body uses it for energy by breaking it down into glucose.
3. After it uses all the glucose it needs, then another chemical change occurs.
4. Now the body has changed it and is now storing it as FAT.
Fat is where the weight comes in plus cheese has fat in it.
Did you add butter or margarine to make the mac & cheese?
Read the labels for carbohydrate content & also check for fat content before you decide to PIG OUT.

It all depends on your own body. Some people can eat spaghetti, mac and cheese and other foods just like it and not gain an ounce, me however, I will gain 10 pounds.
However----------
If you eat in small portions and don't eat the same thing every day, like alot of people do, you will be fine.
Try to avoid starchy foods, bread, fried food, candy, pop and junk food.

No, I do not think that eating either of those things will make a person fatter.

As far as I know noodles contain lots of carbohydrates..so if you ate it EVERY day then yes it would eventually make you fatter

no eating doesn't make you fat. Eating then not exercising makes you fat.
you can eat in essence what ever you want just as long as you work it off later (and It doesn't even have to be worked off all at once, you dont want to have an nice dinner and then work yourself half to death over it.)

As long as you don't over eat and be active such as going to gym, then you will be fine.
Everything can make you fat if you don't be active to maintain or lose weight
