A member asked:
When does the body begin burning fat vs. protein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fasting state.: When in a fasting state, the body first exhausts its carbohydrate stores and then dips into the fat stores. Your body will eventually start scavenging your protein stores, but the timeframe of this is not relevant to the average human who is eating a few times daily.
