After your body burns all it's fat what else it use for energy?

When the body runs out of fat it starts digesting the muscles for energy, a very dangerous thing! Not only do you become weak, your heart muscle will be affected too and you are more liable to have a heart attack. the breathing muscles weaken so breathing is difficult (also putting more strain on the heart). The body is not designed to digest muscle so when it happens it produces a very toxic chemical called a keytone which will send the body into a very serious medical condition called ketoacidosis (which can also kill you). If you are starving yourself, please stop now, before you start suffering.
I would say you weight is low for your height;

Is not the number on the scale that is most important. The amount of muscle versus fat is important. I would somewhat assume you don't exercise much because you wouldn't be too concerned with the number seeing how muscle weighs more than fat. 115 is on the lower side for your height. Your body uses carbohydrates for energy. If you are not eating enough it then uses fat and muscle. Keep in mind, your heart is a muscle. Your body gets energy wherever it can and does not exclude your heart. This is how people with eating disorders die .... they have heart failure. Please don't be as concerned with the number on the scale as the composition of your body (fat versus muscle).

you're quite underweight. you're in basic terms 14 however so i does no longer complication approximately it, your physique continues to be changing. once you're nonetheless aggravating approximately your abdomen, carry out a little cardio some cases each week (walking, cycling, enjoying activities), and carry out a little crunches. it will help tone your abdomen.

If you are a growing adolescent it is fine, if you are starving yourself, your body eats its own muscles including your heart when you do not provide fuel for energy. you will get cancer as well if you do not nourish properly and excercise.

search on the Internet for BMI (body mass index) calculator, it will tell you whether you are the right weight for your height.
