In my own experience....I have found the timing of carb consumption irrelevant as far as controlling my BF % is concerned. If you establish how many carbs you are going to consume each day - and you stick to those numbers - it's not going to matter what time you consume them.

Of course, some people maintain that the metabolism begins to slow down in the evening - and if you are really paranoid about it then by all means - eat your carbs in the morning. I have just never found it to make much of a difference myself.

works for many people
mostly because your overall carbs decrease for the whole day but it's worked for me too

works for me,I always lower carbs by 6 ,unless I do something physical and totally cut them out by 8 at the latest. so basically unless you workout at night there is no need for carbs at night ,since your just veggin out anyway

i just had a meal, i was trying to decide between a huge bowl of brocoli, would have stuffed me like crazy. but the two spoons of pb won out i dont know if carbs are bad at night, but i usually stay away from them just because some people say to. i guess im not gonna have any more carbs today. i usually have veggies and egg whites for breakfast it stuffs me, i like feeling stuffed at least once a day, and at under 400cals total its not like im doing anything wrong.

cutting out carbs 'x' amount of hours before bedtime only means more fat burning during sleep. but also means more muscle burning.

personally, i like to cut carbs about 2-3 hours pre bedtime.

also, i keep carb intake at no more than 150g per day.
try to consume low glycemic carbs except for post workout.

I am convinced it does not matter. Target carbs around weight training activity... no activity no carbs. If you lift at 8PM two protein and carb meals before bed will not put fat on you... trust me.

well u can have always salad or green veggies with low GI.

low GI carbs will keep your insulin levels stable.
when u do not eat carbs your insulin levels drop so low, that might prevent u from burning fat.

your main goal should be to keep insulin levels stable and not to spike them up
