what percentage of fat/glycogen is burned each day

I know you've discussed exercise and fat loss before but I was wondering if you knew what percentage of fat people burn during the day if they are relatively sedentary. Is it all carbs or do they burn some fat?
So say someone has some excess fat and they require 2500 calories a day to maintain. If they ate very low fat would they still lose fat because each day the body would use some of the fat stores and some of the carbs that were eaten, or would the body just use carbs and only use fat once the glycogen stores are depleted?
