If a person eats less energy than his body requires to function on a daily basis, where would the extra fat mass come from?

- grecy 11y agoThe body will burn it's stored fat to make up the energy deficit. The reason it stored fat in the first place is so that it will have energy to function when food supplies are not good. Where exactly the body chooses to take fat from first, I don't know or care. Like digging a hole, it doesn't matter where exactly you take dirt from. When there is no (or very little) stored fat, the body will start eating up it's own muscles to survive, but that's bad.
