The body has no choice but to store the extra energy that is not used. This is usually stored as fat.
Activities such as exercise, running, lifting weights, and even thinking or problem-solving require the use of extra energy from the body. Any physical or mental activity that goes beyond what the body needs for basic functions like breathing and circulating blood will require extra energy.
Your body is using energy all the time. When you're not moving, it's using it for brain processes and to generate heat; that's why humans typically maintain a nice, toasty temperature of about 98 degrees. Muscles use energy. Your brain uses energy. Even the growth of your fingernails uses energy.
To get energy from stored glycogen, the body must first convert glycogen into glucose. This process, known as glycogenolysis, breaks down glycogen into glucose molecules, which can then be utilized for energy production through glycolysis and cellular respiration. The resulting glucose can be used immediately for energy or stored as fat if in excess.
For fat to be used as energy, oxygen must be present. This process, known as aerobic metabolism, allows the body to oxidize fatty acids and convert them into ATP, the energy currency of cells. Without sufficient oxygen, the body cannot efficiently metabolize fats, leading to reliance on carbohydrates for energy instead.
Blood is produced in the marrow of your bones. It needs energy and water and nutrients to accomplish this. Energy comes from the food and nutrients you eat. Water is a must for the human body.
Either you must exercise to burn the extra calories, or it will turn into fat.

Extra energy is primarily stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver, and also as adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage. When energy is needed, the body can break down these reserves to release stored energy in the form of ATP to fuel various metabolic processes.
Fat is stored energy. When the body needs extra energy - it uses up body fat.
The extra energy in your body is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver for later use. If your glycogen stores are full, the excess energy is stored as fat in adipose tissue.
Glycogen is the molecule stored in the liver for extra energy. When the body needs a quick source of energy, glycogen can be broken down into glucose to be used by the body's cells.
The human body stores extra energy in the form of fat molecules. Excess energy from food is converted into triglycerides, which are then stored in fat cells throughout the body for later use when energy intake is low.
Activities such as exercise, running, lifting weights, and even thinking or problem-solving require the use of extra energy from the body. Any physical or mental activity that goes beyond what the body needs for basic functions like breathing and circulating blood will require extra energy.
Hormones do not themselves give any energy (they are not energy containing molecules), they are messenger molecules. The hormone that prepares the body for fight or flight is "adrenalin".
We store extra energy in two froms: Fat and Glycogen. Fat is commonly stored around your belly and leg area, Glycogen in every cell of the body. Muscular cells and the liver are especially rich in glycogen as they need a supply of fast energy to create movement (muscle), have a great passage of blood (liver) that they can dispense it to.
