It is not false and I feel that it was entirely relevant. Care to provide an example of when a muscle would burn FA while glycogen stores are full? I haven't had time to address this properly because I have been traveling. Briefly, most of the body's cells burn fat most of the time. Muscle cells are no exception. They're almost always burning fat. The only times that fat is not a major source of fuel for muscle cells is following a heavy carbohydrate meal and during maximal intensity exercise. I'll try to post sources for this when I get a little more time. I have no idea where you get the idea glycogen has to be depleted before muscle and other tissues will burn fat. That is patently false. Jay
