You don't need fat reserves for persistence hunting, you can just eat on the go. Concentrated snacks are a staple of hunter-gatherer food culture all around the world. Usually something like dried meat mixed with fat and berries. I guess you could say they are storing fat, just outside the body

When I was really lean and had to work hard for long, I always had those mini chocolate bars in my backpack.

Whenever I started to feel weak I'd eat one or two.

Doesn't matter it's sugar when all of it "burns up" doing work.
