carb burning

[darren clarke]

hi am not sure if this is the right place, but does any one know how many carbs the body burns when doing nothing per hour, ie sleeping etc

No idea! But your muscles burn glycogen, so I wonder if you could take the rough amount burned during work out and divide it by 4 (1g carb has roughly 4 cal). It would be quite an inaccurate measure and probably a pointless calculation but that's all I could think of...

No idea - but interesting post on marksdailyapple about how much glucose the brain "needs" and where it can come from!
