How long after you eats carbs does it take before the excess turns into fat? I ate a card filled lunch and plan on working out in 3 hours.

    That's actually a good question. I think it depends on what carbs you're eating. I believe there is a limit as to how many carbs your body can take before it stores the extra into fat cells which can be instant in addition to whatever carbs are unused. So I don't believe it's a matter of time but a matter of quantity.

    Thanks! Yea earlier in the day I had blue menu vegetarian chili, and then about 20 minutes ago I had Vegetable and Chickpea Cous Cous with a few slices of Beets. Overall healthy options (in my opinion) but added together its quite a bit of carbs.
