Energy is sored in the body as:
1.Glycogen in the muscles and liver etc.. You probably know that glycogen is a polymer of glucose and is a carbohydrate,
2. Fat. which is a triglycerides. One pound of fat in the subcutaneous tissues is equivalent to 3500 calories.
Hope this answers your question.

In a couple of different ways. There is fat and there is glycogen. Both depend on storing the energy in chemical bonds. When these bonds are broken the energy is reseased. The cells can then use this stored energy.
It is also possible for the body to extract some energy by breaking down protein.

It is stored as fat.
Do not eat too much cereal and chocolate. Drink diet soda. Use splenda instead of sugar.
