Found this in a article online hope this helps Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates and is found in the liver and muscles. It is readily converted to glucose to be used as an immediate energy source, especially during vigorous or continuous exercise, such as a marathon. Sinse glycogen is such an important fuel source for the body, depleting muscle glycogen stores can have detrimental effects on performance

Glycogen is stored in the liver from all the carbohydrates that we do not use for energy during the day. When we sleep our body runs out of glucose about 4 hrs after eating. The liver then is able to convert the glycogen to glucose and provide enough glucose to keep our blood sugar normal and provide needed energy to our cells throughout the body. This is why we don't need to eat at night. This is a simplified explanation. The liver is a wonderful organ and can sense when the blood sugar is dropping below normal limits.

  • glycogen stores are replenished by the fats and proteins you eat when eating “low carb”… except to the extent that the carbs you are still eating will replenish them first; if that’s not enough, then the fats and proteins you eat will provide the glycogen you need. BUT… your own body fat and muscle are NEVER “converted” to glucose - it’s reduced to ketone bodies, your system’s alternate fuel source.
