I hit a lite workout in the morning. And one around 10 at nit. By the time im done working out its 11:30 pm. Is it bad to eat after the late nite workout?
Carbs won't just turn to fat because you ingest them prior to bed. Your metabolism does slow down but it in the grand scheme of things its about overall nutrient intake and timing second. Carbs before bed has received this stigma of instant fat gain and it really is a shame. Even if you are trying to loose weight carbs in the last meal of the day can be effectively utilized to help stave of catbaolism and numerous other things. Granted this isn't across the board and you have to know your own bodies reaction to certain scenarios, but blatantly stating carbs will be turned to fat if taken before bed is incorrect.I'd say it depends on what you're trying to do. If you're eating right before you go to bed you're body isn't using those carbs. It's just storing it and turning it into fat (i'm guessing you know how much your metabolism slows down during sleep). In the morning you are hungry again and will eat and those are the carbs you will use for energy during the day.
But you also do need some food in your metabolic phase IMO so i would eat. It's not really healthy to just work out and not eat after.
Ok so i guess ya i'd go with eating after but i wouldn't be surprised with a little fat gain.
I dont mean to come across as harsh but you seem to be working more than you should. Your evening workout starts at 10 and ends at 11:30 pm, thats about an hour and a half. A light morning workout would probably be another 30 minutes so close to 2 hour in total. Unless you are a professional bodybuilder I am not sure if you need that much workout.I hit a lite workout in the morning. And one around 10 at nit. By the time im done working out its 11:30 pm.

If there was one thing Sean Taylor taught us about football it was that punters should be a good size! Lol good luck to you though.punter
Not at all. Don't be afraid to eat closer to bed time (and that includes carbs.) As long as you get your daily caloric needs in (and within what ever range you want) you will be fine with your goals.
