It depends what you eat with them. If
you eat a high fat high carb diet then the
fats are stored along with the excess
carbs in existing fat cells if they are
not used for energy. If you eat a low
carb high fat diet the fats are not
stored, any excess are eliminated. Only
carbs make fat, dietary fat does not make
you fat. As a nutrition student you
should be aware of the dangers of a high
carb high fat diet, sugar kills, there is
no mistake about that and all carbs are
eventually broken down to the basic
molecule of glucose and an excess of
glucose causes a multitude of diseases.
A diet that does not contain many carbs
(they are actually not essential to the
body's functioning, it goes on very well
without them) can be relatively high in
fat to provide just the amount for fat
soluble vitamins, esential fatty acids and
energy, no excess will be stored.

Hey something doesnt sound right about
that "what to do"
i dont know your question but maybe its a
trick question :p
when I person gains weight it is due to
hyperplasia not enlargement of the actuall
cells.
