When we need energy, can’t the body just burn the stored fat? Isn’t that the whole point of stored fat? Why will we feel hungry, weak, lightheaded, etc. at all? I understand if the body doesn’t have enough fat (if you’re super skinny), it would make sense to feel hungry, but I don’t understand why would that be the case if there’s enough fat to go around.

Imagine that you’re living your normal life eating regularly, buying groceries when you need them, etc. But you also have an emergency stash of canned food hidden in a wooden box somewhere.
Now suppose something happened one day like gricery store ran out of goods or your paycheck got delayed. You missed your regular resupply at the grocery store. But is one wierd day enough a reason to go and bust tgat emergency box open? Probably not. You’ll check if things change tomorrow, then you’ll finish anything edible and filling that’s still left in your fridge and only then will you go through the work of opening the reserve.
That’s how your body acts too.
