If I have a big calorie burning activity planned for later in the day, am I better off taking in more calories prior to the activity or reloading after the activity? Or does it make no difference? Sometimes I train in the afternoon or evening and on those days I have to eat a lot more calories and I'm worried about taking in too many calories late at night. Sometimes my training doesn't end until 9. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I don't like eating too close to bedtime. I'd say fuel up during the day before you exercise, but give yourself a least 2 hours before you exercise. Don't want to workout on a full stomach! Then after your exercise have something for recovery, like a banana & peanut butter or a protein shake.
