Who eats before going to bed? And what do you eat?

[serbyte]

i just recently started cutting my carbs after about 9 or so. I am bulking, but i gain too much fat always, so now i am trying to taper my meals off at the end of the day. Is there even a point of eating protien and fat before going to bed, or will it be better to not eat immediatly before bed to try to give your body time to burn the fat you have stored throughtout the day.

Your body is pretty tricky about maintaining homeostasis (e.g., it wants to keep itself at set level of bodyfat). In all honesty, I don't think that the timing of carb intake will be as important (in the long run) as the amount of daily carbs consumed.

It's fine to plan your meals so that the majority of carbs are consumed in the day, and eating fat and protein at night is certainly not a horrible idea. But your body won't magically start to burn fat in the evening so don't get tooooo stressed about the time of day. Establish a daily calorie limit, space your meals out evenly and you should be fine.

Afraid not...common misconception. Now I'm not saying that isn't the case in certain situations...but you can't generalize like that.

Any carb you eat before bed store directly as fat.

"protein diet" shake (opt-nutr.) + 1/2 cup of heavy cream and/or 1-2tbs of saffflower oil...

I generally have a protein shake with about 55g protein and 4 - 6g carbs, plus some fatty oil.
