glycogen storage capacity

[monkeyd]

Anyone have any idea how much the average person stores in their liver, and / or skeletal muscle?

How many grams of carbs would it take to fill each from empty ?

I have no idea and I'd just like a ball park number really.

I think it is going to vary from person to person.

 

[monkeyd]

yeah obviously, that's why I said for the average person

75-100 in the liver

anywhere from 3-600 in the muscles.

thanks nate - is that grams of carbs necessary to replenish them, or grams of glycogen stored?

How many g carbs form how many grams of glycogen?
