But this is a function of your stored energy, so if you don’t have enough fat to make up for your metabolic deficit, that energy will have to come from somewhere as a priority to keep your brain alive. Don’t put your body in that position.

So what you're saying is I should keep excess body fat, just in case I need to eat only cottage cheese for a month?

    The vast majority of people are already prepared for the cottage cheese challenge!

    I think the absolute minimum body fat percentage people should have is about 5%men 10%women give or take. Probably much higher. For for 50 kg person, that works out to about 7 kg of body fat minimum.

    However, if you want to be drought and famine resistant, you need to get those numbers up!
