Brief Explanations

The body's energy sources are glycogen (carbohydrate storage), fat, and then protein when glycogen and fat reserves are exhausted. When glycogen (stored carbs) and fat are used up, the body breaks down proteins (from muscles, etc.) into amino acids, which can be converted to glucose or used for energy via metabolic pathways. So the statement is true.
