Carbs earlier in the day?

LolBroScience

I've read it...along with other numerous other health, fitness, and nutrition books that also have footnotes for numerous studies the contradict those studies and other studies that contradict those studies so whatever, and again...average MFPer is going to see very little if any benefit from nutrient timing...average MFPer is not world class athlete trying to shave off milliseconds from their time. Not sure how you're not getting this.

Fine. I thought that perhaps the title of the thread would attract more than just any "old average MFP'er" who wants to know if eating ice cream for breakfast within the broader question of "carbs earlier in the day" or not. I thought there was a diverse group of people partaking of this site that includes anything from top level amateur and even pro athletes to the "any old average MFP'er" who wants to know how to start exercising, or how to start a training program.

Suffice it to say, that nutrient timing is - as you mention - not for the run of the mill average person. But for those that are different than the "run of the mill" - and I have read a lot of posts on these boards that are indeed from a diverse background and experience level - I don't see the harm in valid disucssion.

If there are any amateur "above the run of the mill" endurance athletes on the boards, nutrient timing and getting it right is very crucial to training and racing.

OP isn't an endurance athlete. Merely concerned with fat loss...
