carbs after 6PM??

[molnii]

I'm on a high pro moderate carb low fat diet.....I usually get over 200g of protein ,100-150g of carbs and 30-40g of fat....I'm doing cardio in the morning for empty stomach 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes .
So is it true that you shouldn't eat carb after 6or 8PM??or it's just a myth??
Please help me out on this??

You will get replies saying its a no go and saying its a myth.

I dont think its a problem if done in moderation....I dont eat carbs after dinner.

 

[molnii]

so what's the latest for u??
and what kind of carb do u eat for dinner??

 

[SURFTEXAS]

I personally don't eat carbs after dinner either. Even with dinner I stay away from a lot of complex carbs like bread and go for something like brocolli or a spinach salad or anything like that. Just what works for me.

still wanna what hear Hansel and other people think though...

 

[HANSEL]

I like to switch it up, sometimes Ill have brown rice and others Ill just have broccoli. Mix it up, keep your body guessing.

I've heard not to eat carbs late in the day as well. I'm planning to do just that and avoid carbs after about 7:00pm. My question is about macro nutrient combinations and tapering. If I understand it right it goes like this. Never mix fat and carbs, so eat meals that are protein and carbs or protein and fats. Also taper means that you eat the first meals of the day protein and carbs and the last meals of the day protein and fat. How does that sound?

dont eat carbs after dinner

for me it doesnt really matter as long as carbs are eaten in moderation (about 150g per day) and eaten no more than 40g per sitting

Cobra, that`s what I`m doing now it seems to be working. but I workout late so I`m done at 7:30 sometimes so after a dextrose whey shake then about an hour or so later I have a carb and pro meal at 8:30-9:00. then one last meal at 11 or so.

you'll wake up feeling tighter cause you'll hold less water.

i found no carbs past 7-8 is awesome...or you can just use R-ala to get you into that hypoglycemic state before bed. Thats been working well for me.

I believe the theory behind it is... well your metabolism slows when you are sleeping... so you can gain more fat... and you don't want an insulin spike before that... also... when you sleep you release growth hormone... but insulin can interfere with it...
just eat like pure portein and maybe a bit of fat anywhere in the time period of 4 to 0 hours before bed....

 

[molnii]

so after 7-8 PM just have a whey shake or so....

 

[Cloud-X]

sounds good, and maybe one right before sleep too, just to get ya through the night.. if you have protein to spare ;X

 

[molnii]

does R-ALA that much of a difference maker??

BUMP

 

[FunkMasterFlex]

well if its works as well as its supposed to at increasing insulin sensitivity id say it would if you have carbs...hypoglycemia increases GH response so why not.....

i don't eat carbs after 6 unless i work out after 6, then your body is more receptive to them

dpends on what time u go to bed, 8 pm to me is like 4 pm to others. its 10 oclock and im about to go work on my car and do a little laundry. I wont be in bed till 2 prolly, wake up @ 12 and start it all over...

until i get a job

 

[molnii]

yeah I usually go to bed between 11 and midnite so I have my last meal...right now 2 chicken breast and 2 serving of saurcraut or 2 serving of around 10PM...

from y understanding...depending what you eat depends on how the carbs effect you. Nighttime protein is cool. Maybe casien (micellar) or egg whatever your choice. Low carbs def. Or you can use R-ala and just avoid the issue hehe.
