I Need Help With Some Nutrition Questions. In The Adult Body, When Food Energy Is Not Stored As Fat Or Glycogen?

If you'd use the food which you've digest within three hours of eating it then it would not be stored in your body as a fat or glycogen. And you can burn those calories by walking, exercising which you've taken from the food.

Food will not be stored as either when you eat proteins, which are made up of amino acids. The body will instead break down proteins into these amino acids and use them to rebuild your hair, skin, and other cells, as these acids are the building blocks of life.

Otherwise, food is either stored as one or the other.

Your body stores the energy from food as FATS when you eat carbohydrates and are INACTIVE.

Your body keeps the energy from food readily available as GLYCOGEN when you are ACTIVE, because glycogen is your short-term energy storage, while body fat is your long-term energy storage.
