A member asked:
Is there any nutritional value to burning stored fat in our bodies if we have calorie deficit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
9 calories per gram: When you burn stored fat, it yields about 9 calories per gram of fat burned. It is important to not starve but maintain a certain base level intake of protein and carbohydrates as using fats alone will cause acidosis and other metabolic problems.
