Not trying to flame here, but everyone has their own opinion. We can't know certainly who is right but we can make educated guesses from experience and sports medicine.

A few last words: Fitness is NOT an exact science. So keep that in mind next time you say something is completely false.

Ok I will keep that in mind but your statement is still completely false.

You need to read up on the difference between blood glucose levels and stored glycogen. How much glycogen do you think is stored in muscle tissue and the liver? Do you really think someone eating a "normal" type diet can deplete their glucose levels during 8 hours of sleep which slows metabolism to nearly zilch?

Your view of how the body processes and partitions calories/nutrients is narrow minded at best.

My post count is much lower than the 2 other vets so I'm sure that makes me more credible.
