Best Answer

Dietary fats are marginally more difficult to digest than dietary protein and so will take slightly longer. Withinthe digestive tract the fats are only starting to be digested in the duodenum once the bile has been added whereas almost all of the protein digestion has taken place already in the stomach. Under conditions of starvation however fat is used up first as it is stored, is largely useless and has huge ammounts of energy. Protein will be the last thing to be scavenged here as it is very difficult to break down in the body and provides less energy.
