Calculate Glycogen
Is there any way to calculate approx. how much Glycogen your glycogen stores hold on average, and at max capacity? I know it may sound like a stupid question, but I have been amazed at some things people know about on here.

How many calories in a gram of glycogen? Or is it just carb storage? I have never understood the whole glycogen thing very well.

OK, I looked it up and glycogen is a polysaccaride. And polysaccarides are carbohydrates, so Im guessing 4 calories per gram of glycogen.-?
