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.

Another example would be after eating, our body responds to the level of glucose by releasing the hormone insulin which signals the body to store glucose as glycogen.

For example, I like to east food with complex carbs most of the time so I have a longer supply of glucose but before a workout I like to have a fruit for a quick boost and in the morning as well, to restore glycogen quickly after losing about 80 % (if I'm correct) at night.
