Does body fat give you energy?
Some body fat can give off energy. It depends on which type...meaning there are different types of body fat. Of course, some good and some bad. Fat is energy that has been stored for a later time. If you take in a lot of energy (like eat a lot of food), and don't use it up right away (through exercise), your liver will turn that energy into long chains of lipid (glycogen). Carbohydrates are used for quick energy for your body to use, but if unused, the body needs to somehow store that energy, and turns it into "fat". So yes, fat can give you energy--as it is a form of energy.
