How can your muscles produce enough energy to function properly?
Well, your body always has some kind of energy. If you eat, then it can use the food for energy for quite a while. If that runs out because you haven't eaten for a long time, then your body will start using fat for energy. If that runs out, then it will start using muscle (which is very bad, since your heart is a muscle). If you are very low on immediately available energy, your body will react by making you feel tired, so that it has time to convert more energy while your body sleeps.
