Glycogen – I know there are 2 types, liver and muscle. Beyond that, there is not a lot of easily digested (ba-dum-bum) information about glycogen metabolism outside of dubious ‘bro-science’. Thus I have questions that I can’t quite find the answers to:
-
Is it true that glycogen can be replenished while on keto? If so then which is restored, liver or muscle?
-
I have read that muscle glycogen is used during intense exercise. Does it deplete while fasting if you aren’t doing intense exercises?
-
Is there a preference in the body for creating liver glycogen vs muscle glycogen?
Thanks!
