Amino acids are found in many places, primarily your muscles. If you need energy your body will break down muscles as well as fat to create that energy. Glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids can all be converted to triglycerides. Triglycerides and amino acids can also be converted to glycogen for storage if your muscles and liver run lowâthis is the primary method that you lose fat through exercise, by your liver and muscles being replenished.
Fatty acids, stored as triglycerides in an organism, are an important source of energy because they are both reduced and anhydrous. The energy yield from a gram of fatty acids is approximately 9 kcal (37 kJ), compared to 4 kcal (17 kJ) for carbohydrates.
