I always wondered what happened to the carbs stored in meat.Is that our bodies cant digest glycogen thru our stomachs?Glycogen being stored glucose in muscles.

:lol: nevermind

The energy required for muscle activity in the live animal is obtained from sugars (glycogen) in the muscle. In the healthy and well-rested animal, the glycogen content of the muscle is high. After the animal has been slaughtered, the glycogen in the muscle is converted into lactic acid, and the muscle and carcass becomes firm (rigor mortis). This lactic acid is necessary to produce meat, which is tasteful and tender, of good keeping quality and good colour. If the animal is stressed before and during slaughter, the glycogen is used up, and the lactic acid level that develops in the meat after slaughter is reduced. This will have serious adverse effects on meat quality.

If I new it had to do with rigor mortis I would of never asked:doh:

Awww, we should start a new thread - ask the meat guy. You give great answers.:tu:

I'll invent some stuff for you, but I'm sure these don't fit into your area of expertise:

Why is duck meat darker than turkey, which is darker than chicken?

Why does ostrich taste like beef, but frog tastes like chicken?

What exactly IS meat? I've always considered chicken to be meat, but I understand that poultry is some completely different category from "meat".

:lol:

That's the first time a self-answered question has made me feel dumb.

My first reaction on reading the question was 'damn, not only do I not know the answer, but why did I never think to ask myself that question?

Good one. I like the answer too.
