Muscles have their own glycogen (polymerized glucose) reserves, independant of blood glucose, and impossible to mobilize directly for anything but muscular activity. I'm not sure, but I think that's the point of these high carb meals. If I'not mistaken, they also eat pasta for breakfast, delaying the use of these reserves. Pasta are easy to eat in large quantities, and require little energy to digest.
