English term or phrase: away from body fat

I have difficulty understanding these words in this context. Help, please!

Context:
People who eat a high fat, high protein diet simply retain more calories than they need, storing them as body fat in all those wonderful places like the behind, midsection, and thighs.
And even though very few calories are actually needed for significant weight gain (even an extra fifty calories per day can lead to an extra ten pounds per year, and eventually fifty pounds over only five years), attempts at calorie restrictions are imprecise and unwise, whether done by limiting carbohydrates or fat.
Despite any short-term caloric restriction regimes, the body will always decide what it wants to do with those calories through its own mechanisms.
The body has immensely intricate ways in which it uses calories and distributes energy throughout the body.
The only thing that needs to be done is eat the right kind of foods ,which will allow the body to partition the calories away properly, away from body fat, and use it for more desirable actions like keeping the body warm, running metabolism efficiently, and supporting and encouraging physical and mental activity.

Selected answer:(calories will get turned into things) other than body fat

Explanation:
"away from" means "instead of/rather than/other than" here

so the calories won't get turned into fat but will instead transform into "more desirable actions like keeping the body warm, running metabolism efficiently, and supporting and encouraging physical and mental activity"

you're welcome! Of course eating the right food and taking exercise means that calories are less likely to get stored as fat but will be burned off instead. We have an expression "a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips" to express what happens when we don't take care of our eating habits and eat junk food while taking no exercise

keep away the calories from body fat

Explanation:
To rephrase the sentence, if you eat the right kind of food, the contents (ingredients) of the food will let the body separate the calories away properly, and keep away the calories from body fat, and use it for more desireable actions.
