    I was going off of memory but according to your link humans store 100g (400cal) in the liver and 400g (1600cal) in muscle for 2000cal total.

    Must be some sick cardio sessions to burn that many cals to deplete glycogen. Not to mention your body never burns exclusively glucose, even at high hr it's still burning a mixture of fatty acids and glucose albeit more glucose as hr rises.

    Again these numbers are maximums. An athlete or bodybuilder or almost anyone who is on even remotely what is considered a diet isn't going to have their glycogen stores topped off. Your assuming glycogen stores are topped off at these numbers.
    Even so when you do cardio at lower intensity (fat burning zone) you burn more calories from fat. A higher intensity cardio session burns more calories from carbs. However higher intensity cardio burns more overall calories, which is more important.
