Best Answer

Carbohydrates have a very important role in muscle building, almost as much as proteins, they form muscle glycogen and help keep the sugar levels constant. What is important to have in mind is to plan correctly which kind of carbohydrates are better for this function, and those are complex carbohydrates and high fiber ones specially.

Why muscle cell called muscle fibre?

Muscle cells are called muscle fibers because of their long, slender shape that resembles a fiber. The structure of muscle cells allows them to contract and generate force, which is essential for muscle function. The term "fiber" is used to describe the long, cylindrical shape of these cells that run parallel to each other in muscle tissue.
