Lets put this in perspective....CARB FUEL

The average 150 pound person has a carbohydrate fuel reserve of approximately 850 calories. That can be utilized in 24 hours. No surprise people can get back into keto a day after a 1 or 2 day carb-up.

Muscle glycogen (normal) alone hold approximately 480 calories in carb energy.
Your liver holds about 280 calories.
Blood glucose has about 80 calories flowing through your veins.

Now this is for an average 150 pound person.

Remember, carbs is short term energy and it can be easily depleted.

The body is a beautiful thing.

Dette er mest for de som ønsker å trene litt i tillegg til å bare sitte på rævva og spise god mat hele tiden. Man trenger glycogen i muskler, lever og blodbaner for å kunne yte ekstra, samt at ikke kroppen skal bryte ned muskelvev til næring.
