    Carbs matter for me because I am Insulin Resistant.

    I find that I need to eat a greater percentage of my carbs before I exercise (which for me is riding my bike). That way I have energy for my workout, and seem to use up a lot of my glucose before it can be converted to fat.

    If you are interested, check out the Insulin Resistance Diet. I bought it for my ereader and it is the diet that works best for me. It's more sustainable than The 17 Day Diet, but works as effectively at least for me.

    Good luck.

    I know few people who eat carbs 2 hrs before work out and with an hour of work out with protein. Its pretty common in body building circuit and it does work for some folks. Try and see if it works for you.

    When you want them. Body doesn't work on an eating time clock.

    True, unless you sleep in one of these so that the fat settles equally

    When you are hungry for them. Fit into your daily allowance and before 7:00 or three hours before bedtime.

    So what happens if I eat carbs 15 minutes before bedtime?

    Nothing happens, as long as it fits your daily macros.

    Oh gosh, you pick up on sarcasm rather quickly.
