Fat is the body's longest lasting form of energy. All activity takes energy to preform. We measure this amount of energy in Calories or kilo calories. Fat has 9 Calories per gram, and carbohydrates and protein have 4 Calories per gram. Fat has more Calories per gram, so it has more energy. When an animal (including humans) preforms an activity (even basic bodily functions) the body's cells feed off the fat so they can work to preform the activity. The fat metabolizes.
