glutting
Stuffing beyond capacity
Glutting is supplying or consuming so much of something that demand or appetite is exhausted.
Markets become glutted when supply overwhelms buyers: Cheap imports are glutting the domestic market.
A person glutting themselves eats to excess.
The word implies not just abundance but oversaturation—more than can be absorbed or wanted.
