Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat. Summary: Carbohydrates are a source of energy for the human body

Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose molecules which can only be stored in very small amounts. Excess glucose which are not readily used are converted into glycogen and stored in fatty tissues of the body.
What do carbohydrates do in your cells?

What two tissues in the body store the most carbohydrates?
