[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 239400, member: 19121"] There have been many threads on here over the period I have been a member with this information and more, glycogen is stored ready for use in the muscles and the liver and one molecule of glycogen means four molecules of water, I cant remember the split between muscles and liver but I think the total glycogen held in a human body is around 500g but thats the maximum. So 500g of glycogen could mean a total of 2000g of water, dont know what that would weigh, I expect google knows :D Which is why on pretty much any diet the first few days see a big drop in weight but after that it slows down. Bearing in mind that is the max amount it is probably closer to 1000g on average when you take into account that no one would have the maximum amount at all times as it is used through out the day to fuel energy needs. In fact I guess thats why our weight fluctuates throughout the day. [/QUOTE]
