If we’re talking fullmetal alchemist rules, it’s pretty clear that transmutation doesn’t change the atomic make-up of a thing. Just the chemical bonds and intermolecular forces, combined with moving the bits around following a formula. However, you could turn fat into a hydrogen-propelled diamond bullet.
Absolutely, and it is stated in FMA that that activation energy is theoretically derived from tectonic potential energy, somehow (although, of course, that turned out to be a convenient lie, in-canon)
I was hoping the fat would be considered equalivelent exchange for equal mass.

Bonds take energy to break and make. Some is released when they break. And those forces take energy to overcome.
