Assuming she is 121 pounds, a very small amount of carbs when her blood sugar is that low would spike her insulin. 5 grams of carbs will be plenty to turn the signal on for a woman her size. Unless she chooses to limit her carbs to only first thing in the morning and immediately post workout. Then I would suggest 10 grams in the morning and 15 grams post workout with the rest of her meals consisting of only protein and fat. Our muscles only have so much intracellular gylocogen storage potential. That potential is determined by the amount of muscle we have. Any glucose presented to the body at the time of an insulin spike that is not stored as muscle or liver glycogen will almost always be stored as fat, barring the use of a compound such as Tren which has amazing nutrient partitioning effects and will deflect fat storage under almost any circumstances.
