This is probably a dumb question but i wanted to know if it's better to eat your carbs at the beginning of the meal or at the end? Right now i just eat in any order because it's all goin to the same place. Right?

    I don't know about the order in an individual meal, but....I've been told to eat your carbs earlier in the day and limit how many you have in the late afternoon/evening.

    After. Assuming your meal is composed of fats and proteins, eating the carbs after will more likely keep your blood sugar from spiking and slow the insulin response.

    Thanks guys. I did eat my carbs for breakfast and lunch and none for dinner. I'll just eat it last anyway and see if it makes a difference in how I feel/look.
