When I was younger, I thought that there was a correlation between fat we eat and the unwanted fats that sprout out in our bodies. Eventually, I found out that it was all about energy balance: a classic case of calories in vs calories out.
What is body fat?
Fat is a form of body tissue composed of cells which primarily store fatty acids and compounds.
These cells are embedded in a matrix of connective tissue.

Remember girls, FAT cannot become muscle, and muscle cannot become fat. They are two entirely different types of tissues.
Fat builds up in your body depending upon whether you are a man or woman. Men tend to carry fat around the abdomen, chest and behind, while us women are more prone to fat in their hips, breasts and waist as well as the behind.
Fat has many purposes: insulation, cushioning, and estrogen production. Contrary to what you might think, your body does not have fat because it’s trying to ruin your life. Rather, your body has fat because it’s trying to keep you alive as long as possible. Because of its composition, fat is an excellent and energy-efficient fuel source.
In general, we have a certain number of fat cells which remain more or less constant throughout our adult lives. Fat cells are like little balloons that can be inflated or deflated. When fat is “lost”, the little balloons just deflate, but they’re still there
Do you have any idea how actual fat looks like?
