True or False?

The only way your body can store energy from food is in the form of body fat.

False.  Your body can store energy from food for future use in two ways: 1) as fat and 2) as muscle fuel (called glycogen). The body's first priority is to fill its glycogen tanks, because glycogen is the body's primary source of energy for physical activity. Once your glycogen stores are filled and the rest of the body's energy needs are covered, all the extra energy from your food will be stored as body fat.
