While you are sleeping, approximately how much of the energy your cells use is derived from fats?

The percentage of energy derived from fat while sleeping is 60-70 percent per day.

Further explanation

Calories are units for measuring energy. The energy needed by the body to breathe, to take selfies (which can sometimes be dozens of times a day), fights with girlfriends, eat, and so on.

Fat is an element (compound) that exists in living things (humans, animals, and plants). Fat functions to maintain body temperature, protect internal organs and help the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K in our body.

It can be concluded that Calories are a unit of measuring energy, while fat is a compound whose measuring unit is grams. So, the forms of calories and fat are different. Fat is part of the food, while calories are the energy contained in the food.

There are three types of burning of calories in the body which are as follows:

Basal Metabolic Rate, to carry out its function so that we stay alive, all internal organs of the human body burn calories, including activities while sleeping. How many? An average of 60-70 percent of the total calories spent a day.

Digestion, which means the process of "transferring" nutrients and energy from food into the body. To digest food, we burn calories. How many? An average of 10-15 percent of the total energy spent a day.

To move, as small as, to high-intensity exercise, we burn calories. On average about 15-30 percent of the total energy, we spend a day.

So, for example, in one day you eat food with a total energy of 2,000 calories. Then it turns out that your BMR is 1,400 calories. Then to digest food, you spend 300 calories, and from exercise that day you spend 300 calories. That means the total energy you spend is 1,400 plus 300 plus 300 calories or 2,000 calories. This means you do not burn fat.
