Fats are a larger molecule and therefore have more mass.
Fat and glycogen have different chemical properties. Fat contains more energy for mass than sugars. For birds, who need to be very light to remain aerodynamic, storing a vast majority of the energy as fat is much more efficient.

adipose tissue, fat, or glycogen
The body converts glycogen to fat for long-term energy storage through a process called lipogenesis. When there is excess glycogen in the body, it is converted into fatty acids and stored in fat cells for later use as energy.
glycogen
No. It is stored as fat in adipose tissue.

The inertia of an object is directly proportional to its mass. The greater the mass the greater the inertia and the lower the mass the lower the inertia. This tells us the fat person will have more inertia due to his greater mass and the thin person will have less inertia due to his lower mass.
Animals convert glucose to glycogen for longer term storage. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen will be used before fat reserves are tapped.
Excess glucose in the body is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. Once these glycogen stores are full, any additional glucose is converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue for long-term energy storage.
