Detailed explanation-1: -Dietary carbohydrates provide glucose that body cells can use for energy. Excess glucose beyond what the body needs for immediate energy is converted into glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate, or converted into fat and stored in body fat cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -If people consume more carbohydrates than they need at the time, the body stores some of these carbohydrates within cells (as glycogen) and converts the rest to fat. Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that the body can easily and rapidly convert to energy. Glycogen is stored in the liver and the muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Storage as Glycogen After carbohydrates are broken down in your body, some of the glucose that isn’t needed immediately for energy is stored as glycogen in your liver and muscles for later use.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many of the Carbs Turn to Fat When this occurs, the insulin then transports the glucose to the liver where it’s most likely turned into a fatty acid, triglycerides, to be housed in the fat stores, which have unlimited storage capacity.
