glucose (sugar)!
As you check out the graph above, think of plasma
glucose as something you'd get from a gel or sports drink or bar (or from the breakdown of protein); plasma free fatty acids as something you'd get from breaking down your own fat tissue, or from a dietary source of fat; muscle triglycerides as
stored fat in muscle (or perhaps from an external source like coconut oil,
if that's your fuel of choice), and muscle glycogen as your body's storage carbohydrate.
(However,
if regular potatoes are
stored in cold storage, over time their starch content slowly transforms into
glucose and fructose.)

glucose and insulin, you can eat all the carbohydrates you like and it will not have any detrimental effects on your fat
stores and then because of that, on your health.
Remember, your body has plenty of
stored liver glycogen, roughly 75 to 100 grams or 300 to 400 calories worth of
stored glucose (energy)
if you truly need it.
If your blood sugar levels are low, the pancreas releases glucagon to start converting
stored liver glycogen into
glucose to maintain homeostasis.
If you aren't immediately active, some of that
glucose gets
stored in your muscles and liver as glycogen (the rest gets
stored as fat).
On the other hand,
if you're eating more protein than what your body needs, this excess is converted into
glucose or
stored as fat.
Extrapolated to conditions of postprandial elevation in blood
glucose and insulin (particularly after a high - carbohydrate meal), de novo lipogenesis in skeletal muscle, like in the liver, could also contribute to blood
glucose homeostasis by disposing some of the excess circulating
glucose as muscle triglycerides, particularly
if the glycogen
stores are full.
If you are not burning off that extra
glucose (which is what the body uses for energy) and your cells that use it are already full then the body will
