Your body can meet the majority of your calorie requirements from stored fat, but total starvation is fatal in 8-12 weeks, regardless of initial body weight.
I am still wondering if having more muscles could also make you starve faster because your basic metabolism would require more energy?
A recent video by Kurtzgesagt has lead me to believe that having lots of muscle doesn’t increase your basal metabolic rate very much. It’s a myth. It’s using your muscles that burns more energy. Simply maintaining extra muscle doesn’t burn all that many extra calories.
I would venture that having extra muscle would mean it would take longer for you to starve.
