Weight loss would improve their general health and wellbeing. If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs? 2. This 96 kg adult decides to begin a starvation diet to lose weight. They aim to reduce their weight to 75 kg, which will be a weight loss of 21 kg. If the only source of nutrient energy for this 96 kg adult is the oxidation of fatty acids stored at TGs, how long (in days plus hours) will it take for this person to lose 21 kg of their body weight under starvation conditions? The daily energy expenditure for this 96 kg adult is 8700 kJ. This is equivalent to the recommended Australian average daily energy intake of 8700 kJ. 3.
