Fat (Adipose) tissue stored in your body has two puposes. White cells to provide energy and brown cells to produce heat.
Here's where I think the confusion stems from. The body can convert excess carbohydrates and protein into fat. The process is 10 times less efficient than storing fat as fat so the body would rather do that but it CAN use carbs and protein. But the rub is that they are still just energy storage. To put it simply, the body may store protein as fat, but when the body needs fuel it will be eventually converted to glucose. The body cannot do the reverse process, turning the protein back into usable amino acids.
You work out like that on a fast and as Kane said you will go catabolic both in terms of fat and muscle. Any shakes you take in will likely be used as energy unless you plan on taking in enough for maintenance or above. Under such conditions skeletal muscle reserves are not a priority. Energy and the essential nutrients to sustain biological processes are.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
