Energy Storage Summary Most energy is stored as triglycerides in our adipocytes (> 15 kg, equivalent to more than 100 000 kcal !!!! Carbohydrate stored as: glycogen in liver (~150 g); most concentrated as liver is only ~2 kg! glycogen in muscle (~350 g); ~40% body mass is muscle only about 30 g of glucose is found in the blood – not much!** Protein also represents a large potential energy source (since we' re about 40% muscle). This represents about 25 000 kcal, but is obviously protected i.e. used in starvation or caloric restriction ** Consider a large meal at ~1000 kcal, and 60% carbohydrate – that's 150 grams of CHO! Yet your blood only holds 30 g!
