    I am so sick of celebrities saying they don't eat carbs after a certain time. No wonder everyone tries it.

    I don't eat them after bedtime. Don't want to choke in my sleep.

    Generally I tend to believe in not eating "big" meals late and if you do have an odd schedule, make sure to try to squeeze in that protein shake/meal a few hours before going to sleep to allow it to digest.

    Outside of preference such as how it effects your sleep, it makes no damn difference AT ALL.

    Everyone is different. Do what you feel is what you need. I eat carbs whenever I want. Body keeps working even when your asleep. Calories in and calories out.
    Everyone is not different. Calories in vs calories out. It doesn't matter when you eat carbs. This really needs to die.

    Everyone is different in what they believe and a lot believe in the myths!

    I eat whenever I want, if I'm hungry! I also work night shift, so silly rules like "no eating after 8pm" are just dumb.

    "No carbs after ... " is a sneaky way to save us from the deadly sins of alcohol and dessert.

    It's all nonsense. Unless you're fasting for more than a couple of days, meal timing is irrelevant.

    Just don't panic when you wake up with chest pain from the reflux.

    :laugh: . Some of the comments are hilarious. I'll add my two cents. I just finished an hour of Taebo. I had a half cup of kefir for protein and a handful of Whoppers for carbs ....... Hey, don't judge me! :tongue:

    Just had a bag of popcorn. I'll probably gain all the weight I lost now.

    Hi,

    So nutritionist here. It actually does matter when you eat carbs in the day. When you eat carbs your body releases insulin to help cells take up the glucose you just ingested. During the day this is fine, because your cells take up glucose and use it for energy thus avoiding packing it as fat. At night however, you're sedentary and the carbs you eat get stored as fats in your body. Insulin release also hinders the release of other hormones, such as growth factor, which help your body metabolize. You actually burn most of your calories at night while sleeping (other than during a workout) due to the release of these hormones. Insulin release inhibits these hormones and you end up storing extra glucose as fat. I'd say stop eating carbs 2-3 hours before bed.
