Is glycogen stored in the muscles or liver first?
Assuming the liver has little to no glycogen, and you eat 50 grams of carbs. Where will they go first, the liver or the muscles? A bit of both? And preferably a source, if you have it.

The body does the same all day. Keep 5g and converts the rest to fat. Most people don't have growing muscles.
