No carbs after 6PM

[the.gladiator1987]

Is this if you go to bed at 10? Or is this just a universal thought?

If i got to bed around 12 midnight, would no carbs after 8PM be the same? Or is it pretty much just the idea to get carbs in your system earlier in the day...

Good food choices for nighttime would be almonds, cottage cheese, meat, eggs, whey and veggies?

The no carbs after a certain period of time is as close to BS as it comes. Especially for someone with your body type.

There has been a few pros that circulated this and it's 95% broscience. It's 5% "maybe".

The only thing is that insulin sensitivity tends to change as you get closer to your usual bed time. And in my research, reading, experience, it absolutely doesn't matter unless you are saving all your daily carbs for night or you are saving a large portion and they are high gi carbs.

For 99% of people, this is not the case... and especially for you I wouldn't worry about it.

I depends on context. Will you/your body use the carbs... or will they not be used--->glucose in to fat cells----> not good. Not good regardless of time

well its pwo so yeah they should be used quite rapidly. I know this is overkill but yesterday I had a sick workout, set 11 PR's and had 150g of fast carbs post workout with 50g of protein (chicken breast)

about 60-90mins later I was starving hungry again so doesnt this mean that my body used up all the carbs and protein and that the carbs and protein were needed? Otherwise it would have been stored and kept me fuller for longer, is this right?

150 grams of fast acting carbs? that is so ridiculously high its bordering on stupid, considering the whey alone blunts cortisol release. 30 to 50 grams of fast acting carbs is more than enough. i bet 70% of that shake spilled over into fat cells, very counterproductive.

your body did not use up those 150 grams of carbs in 60 to 90 minutes. the hunger was based on your insulin levels crashing through the floor, after all that sugar was pushed into fat cells. hunger after high gi carb meals is due to the insulin drop. mixing in a slower carb would have made you feel fuller.

you will never need 150 grams of fast acting carbs pwo. never. if you followed that meal with more high gi carbs, you probably added fat to your body. learn about insulin. you dont need to shock the shit out of your pancreas to build muscle.

1. I never had any whey and never said I had whey and I even put that the protein was via chicken breast
2. who the fuck has chicken breast and carbs in a shake? this was a meal not a shake
3. no i didnt have any more fast acting carbs after that but it was actually about 125g fast carbs 25g slow carbs, and still i was hungry like an hour after...
4. i dont usually do this

you missed my point which was whey alone is good enough to do what you want.

i also stand by what i said, you dont and never will need that type of pwo meal. 50 grams of protein from chicken and half a cup to a cup of white rice is more than enough. and your hunger an hour later was still due to the absurd carb amount you took in.

do alittle research on the role and action of insulin in digestion. it will be helpful in controlling fat gain while still adding muscle.

ok thanks, i just wanted to know why i got so hungry so quick and though that metabolism being already higher because of age and then the natural metabolism raise form lifting and be being hungry from lifting could be why i got through so much carbs so quick. like i said i dont normally do this i just got a sweet tooth lolol
