Curious how late in the day folks are taking in carbs such as white rice, oatmeal etc.. I've typically been stopping carbs by 630 or so and going to bed around 1030, having protein meals between those times
I train at the end of the day but during the day il eat about 25-30gm carbs with each meal, give or take depending on the day, and then my last meal of the day is post workout and will have over 100gm of carbs.I train in the AM after 1 meal, so I infact load my carbs in the evening before. So my last meal of the day is my third highest carb meal, my pre workout meal is my second highest and post workout is the highest.
I train first thing in the morning before work. My concern is getting fat if I eat too many carbs before bed. If I keep the carbs clean maybe it would be worth giving it a try to take them in before bed?I train in the AM after 1 meal, so I infact load my carbs in the evening before.

You don't get fatter eating your carbs before bed, that's a myth that old lady's tell ppl.I train first thing in the morning before work. My concern is getting fat if I eat too many carbs before bed. If I keep the carbs clean maybe it would be worth giving it a try to take them in before bed?
I will say this, and a lot of guys will argue but I'm 100% convinced.I train first thing in the morning before work. My concern is getting fat if I eat too many carbs before bed. If I keep the carbs clean maybe it would be worth giving it a try to take them in before bed?
Well I'm on andros, I doubt most ppl would consider that gear but I'm losing weight almost too quickly. Granted, fat melts faster than muscle builds. I had plenty of fat to lose in May when I started dieting. I started at 215+ and was at 201.8 this morning. I guess my concern is losing lean tissue. Protein intake is 1gm+/lb body weight. Fats are pretty low, basically whatever I'm getting from chicken breast, a handful of almonds, fish oil and eggs a few days per week. Which lead me to the question of carbs. I'm wondering if adding a little more in at the end of the day will help prevent muscle loss. I'm 5'10" and I wanted to stay around the 200lb area as lean as possibleI will say this, and a lot of guys will argue but I'm 100% convinced.
When your on a cycle, given the cycle has the components to increase glycogen/fuel storage and your working out really hard. I think you can get away with adding a decent amount of extra calories via fast digesting carbs around the workouts and not get fat too.
I'm not saying go from a low carb diet to 500gm a day. But say I'm eating my carbs evenly spread through the day and then I go on cycle, ok time to add 200 calories, I'm going to add them around the workout all in the form of carbs and maybe a little extra protein but mostly carbs
Good stuffcarbs before bed makes the most sense as it will help you sleep through the night. insulin is tied to melatonin. when I was younger all the high School football teams carb loaded the day before games. pancakes, spaghetti etc. interesting to see old knowledge get lost. rich Piana ate a pint of ice cream before bed every day.
I never take carbs after falling asleep.
