True, Redjake. But depending on the caloric deficit, it's likely to be a bit of muscle too. For all we know, SF's BMR could be anywhere between 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day, which means if his caloric intake dips too low, he won't get the energy he needs to sustain his system fast enough, and so the body will take from all available sources to ensure it: glucose, fat, and muscle tissue.
