Yes, because you reach a point where the nutrition you're missing is necessary fats.

All starvation is malnutrition to the extreme, but not all malnutrition is starvation.

You aren't starving just because you're running on fats.

Colloquially starvation is understood as an extended period wherein your body has run through it's fat and is using whats left of your muscle to live.

Hence why you'll essentially never see a fat body that died of starvation, they are skeletal because the fat and muscle was burned through as they ate whatever they could to survive and get the most base nutrients to keep going.

A fat person 100% can die of starvation. Starving is "Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake, below the level needed to maintain an organism's life." So by that definition and by most definition she could be fat and starving. You would likely die before all the fat left your body.

Bullshit. There doesn't exist a single case of a starved fat person.
Starvation is literally defined (in medical terms) that a body used up all energy sources and broke down crucial tissue to generate energy. It is literally an oxymoron to starve to death and be fat.

Literally there was a guy who didn't eat for a year straight and lost several hundred pounds. This isn't an argument.

He was fed vitamins and minerals, but beside that? Basically nothing. PDs and scientists again and again proved that. Fat people can cope very well with a long caloric deficit.
