pig out
Eat too much
Pig out is to eat greedily or excessively, like a pig at a trough: We pigged out on pizza and ice cream.
The phrase suggests enthusiastic overindulgence rather than mere hunger—usually applied to junk food or comfort food rather than ordinary meals.
I'm going to pig out tonight and regret it tomorrow.
