Diets affect on glycogen stores (how to determind your glycogen stores)

[Sportsmedjosh]

The body stores comparatively little glycogen, do dietary intake can significantly affect its quanity. For example, a 24 hou fast of low carb, nor calories (isocaloric) diet dramatically reduces glycogen reserves. While maintaining a CHO rich isocaloris diet for several days doubles the bodys CHO stores compared with a nomral well balanced diet. The body's supper limit for glycogen storages equals about 15 g per kg of body mass. This turns our to be 1050g for the avg per who is 70 kg or 840g for a typical female who is 5kg.

To help you determine your body's current glycgen content in grams, multiply your body weight in kilograms (lbs / 2.205) by 15.
