Check out today's reference: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-fats-called-an-energy-store-in-the-body The majority of energy in your body is stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue (fat). Triglycerides are a very efficient energy store because they are energy-rich and can be used by many of the tissues in the body to generate energy during fasting and exercise by the biochemical pathways of fatty acid oxidation and the Kreb’s cycle. One very clear advantage of storage of energy as fat is that it is very hydrophobic (does not associate with water) and therefore weighs a lots less than stored carbohydrate (glycogen) does.
