Excess carbohydrates are stored in the body in the form of glycogen primarily in the liver and muscles. When these storage sites are full, the excess carbohydrates may be converted to fat for long-term energy storage. This is a way for the body to reserve energy for times when food intake is insufficient.

What is cabohydrate used for in the body?

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. They occur in the form of sugars (simple and complex) and fiber. The sugars are converted into glucose, which provides energy.
