Answer:-
Other than the obvious "because we can", it's because there is more energy available in the same space.
Per gram, there are 9 Calories in fat. Protein and carbohydrates are around 4 Calories per gram. More calories mean more available heat, which is how the body uses energy.
The other reason is that fat stores better for quick access than do protein or carbohydrate stores. Carbs are pretty much immediately used, so not stored in great volume. Proteins are digested into amino acids then deaminated and stored in organs and muscle as different molecules, so though they are available, it isn't as easy to get them out of the muscle to burn calories.

Our body needs Energy for our daily activities. This energy requirement is fulfilled by the food we eat. when our body acquires enough energy, the extra energy from the food is stored in our body as fats.
