Eating Before Bed

I stay up late at night to hit my macros, so I can't really go over, and if I did, it wouldn't matter since I am 146 lbs.

What?

Real science here; if you eat before bed ( worst of all carbs) it is NOT good , this is because all your glycogen stores are already filled up from food at the end of the day so any remaining calories will turn into fat . Also carbs increase levels of insulin which inhibits growth hormone from being released during the deep stages of sleep and this Growth hormone helps burn fat and increase and replenish muscle mass therefore ideally you should not have carbs after 7 and not eat anything after 9 so as to keep insulin levels down to allow for maximum growth hormone release at night

Right? Look at the 6 pounds of fat I gained on my bulk by eating pints of Talenti before bed over the past 6 months....



hmmm...wait. I dunno, maybe I got my clown mirror goggles on but I think the 6 lbs looks pretty well distributed.

OP, eating a proper amount of protein and a minor surplus will give you optimal opportunity for muscle growth and minor fat gains, irregardless of timing. Eat when it makes you feel best...

The only time I CAN eat is before bed, due to my work schedule. If I don't eat I won't sleep, and I have to sleep to function. I have not had any problems with heartburn or anything else.

I stuff myself silly before I go to bed. Is this unhealthy? Scientific articles to support your answer would be nice

Didn't you do a post the other day about wanting to gain weight???
So what does it matter?

My last feed of the day is usually ~8pm, in bed by 1030.....

Doing fine so far.

Yes, yes it appears you are. :flowerforyou:

You too sweetie.

I wonder if I put up a sexy half shirtless black and white people would take me more seriously???

whatever- Mity can take his shirt off any time- he wins the "proof is in the puddin'" award.

LOL
Doesn't matter
No one takes me serious anyways. :laugh: :laugh:

I approve of a black and white sexy photo of you, JoRocka! You were one of my inspirations when I started last year :P

Sounds logical. Can you supply an online reference for your statements?
Thanks.
