In a time of famine is it better for a human to be obese, very muscular, or both?

I guess bears hibernate and bring some added fat. Obviously, humans don’t have a hibernation strategy, but I think the bears are using a combination of both stored surplus fat and overall mass.

I guess it could be made to sound like a joke. A very fat guy, a skinny ascetic, and a world heavyweight champion boxer compete to see who can go the longest on little to no food, who wins??

Food scarcity is a reality for many people.
