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.

The human body needs more than fat to survive. When you are hungry and need energy, you need vitamins, you need protein, you need fiber, you need all of these things that the body does not have the ability to store. We can only store excess calories as fat, but calories can come from anything, like pure sugar for example. For if you just ate pure sugar you would die.
