Correct sentence or changed to ?

Hello~ There is a sentence like this:

"He was not hungry because he ate a lot."

Is this correct? Or should be changed to "present perfect tense" like "He was not hungry because he had eaten a lot."?


Thank you for your help in advance~!

anonymous He was not hungry because he ate a lot. Acceptable and understandable, but not quite right. anonymous changed to " present past perfect tense" He was not hungry because he had eaten a lot.
