It depends. If certain starvation is the only worry, additional stored resources may come into play. But being in better physical condition is always a plus in almost any emergency. Being in great physical shape can also boost one's confidence and morale. Being overweight can hinder one in going to seek out help or doing necessary survival chores such as building shelter and securing any other basic needs. Obese individuals may certainly be at greater risk for heart attacks. - RA
