Assuming you've burn't taxi fuel on the way out, all the trip fuel in getting to destination, all contingency sometime after engine start, gone around from DH at destination, diverted to your alternate, held for half an hour having not loaded any extra fuel prior to departure, your tanks would be empty!! Hence the mayday call if you touch the half hour final reserve fuel or pan call if you think you may touch it.
