    What happens to glycogen in animal tissue?

    Specifically, the animal flesh we eat. As meat has little if any carbohydrates (right?) and I assume animals store glycogen in their muscle tissue (right?), does it become inert/degraded upon slaughter? Just wondering because I've been out of protein powder for a few days now and I've been eating the hell outta this extra lean and cheap ground pork, and I didn't know what happend to the piggies glycogen stores.

    Edit: This post was copied off another forum board but I believe the diet gurus would shed some light. Thanks.
