My memory on this is rusty but I recall fat being usable as fuel by the body after being converted to ketones.

That is only for the brain. Muscles can use fat directly for energy. Glucose is a lot easier process and so the body will use that first. If plenty of sugar is always available your body won't develop the fat pathways as much.
