Why is your body eating itself bad? That is what fat is for right. I probably do get enough protein. My dinner is pretty large and I eat alot of meat then. I don't eat many vegies though.

because iirc, your body will eat muscle and fat together, because it'll eat the muscle for nutrients and the fat for the energy to convert the muscle into nutrients. its a win-lose situation, because sure you may lose fat, but as jlbenedict said, your body may also store some fat at times if you don't do enough exercise to use it as energy. so you may not lose much fat in the long run as it'll be replaced by what you eat, but you do lose muscle. if you actually trained its something you would notice. if you dont train you likely wont notice much muscle mass missing since it wasn't strongly evident as first. you'd have to starve yourself to notice yourself wasting away, but you still lose muscle.
