If a person is calorie-deprived and in ketosis, and then eats a small meal high in fat and protein, is the fat metabolized quickly for energy use, or does the body utilize existing fat reserves first?
I am curious, for example, if saturated fat is harmful [LDLs] for a starving person in the same way it is for person who has consumed enough or too many calories already that day. Is the harm due to saturated fats purely a function of the fat itself, or is this more a result of eating too many calories and not needing the extra energy; leaving the fat available to cause other problem?
