Autophagy as in "eating your own proteins" starts when you have no more fats in your body... That takes weeks usually, unless you are already exceptionally skinny.
Until then, it's autophagy as in "converting adipose tissue into energy stores", so you're safe. And I don't think we use "autophagy" for this meaning.
