Not that I’ve heard of

The way “getting big” becomes unhealthy is when the body gets so large either through fat OR muscle that the heart has to over-work to supply blood over such a large surface area

When you look at how our bodies are designed to operate, we are built to gorge ourselves then spend periods of high caloric expenditure while seeking food sources again, either by hunting or gathering. There is nothing unhealthy about big meals or large amounts of movement

Edit: I have tried working out as hard as I do on a calorie deficit. What happens is there is a certain point where I become suddenly exhausted and RAVENOUSLY hungry. Like craving food, especially sweet/high-glucose food, like a heroin addict craves heroin. I’m assuming this is a blood sugar issue due to not having enough calories stored to convert for the energy requirement. So I cannot do the kind of workouts I do unless in a calorie surplus

Your liver has to filter all of that so growing skeletal muscle(by overeating) is no different than growing adipose tissue(by overeating) in terms of workload for that poor fellow.

Multiply that by years and tell me where you'll end up.
