For Daryl (or anybody who happened to glance at the paper/position stand he provided)...

"Maximal endogenous glycogen stores are best promoted by following a high-glycemic, high-carbohydrate (CHO) diet (600 – 1000 grams CHO or ~8 – 10 g CHO/kg/d)"

Am I understanding this correctly? At 90kg BW, to maximally restore gylcogen I would require 8-10g per kg BW = 720-900g carbs? Given that this would give me around 3500cals alone, I'm definitely getting this mixed up right??!!
