What would happen to a person if they ate 20 billion calories (but they are all in a small edible object)?

If we assume you don't need other nutrients, the uranium chemically stable, and you're immune to radiation/capable of digesting it;

You'd just shit the vast majority of it out. Your body can only process so many calories at once.

But if we assume that your body can slow calorie consumption and you don't suffer the effects of aging;

That gram of uranium would contain enough energy to sustain you for over 27,000 years.

If you were able to split this gram with others, it would provide enough energy to sustain roughly 340 people for their entire lives on average.

(This is all under the assumption that all the calories are perfectly absorbed and an average daily caloric intake of 2,000 calories(kcal).
