CARBS IN THE EVENING

I have read that our body uses carbs differently when sleeping (more apt to store as fat). That does kind of make sense since carbs are needed more when we need to be active, rather than just sleeping. I personally consume most of my carbs before noon. By then, I have exercised before work, worked half a day at the office, and run 2 - 3 miles at lunch. Makes sense that I would need more carbs during that time.

Someone mentioned protein before bed to keep blood sugar levels relatively constant through the night. I do that too. It just makes sense to me.

I am no expert though and I do believe that we each need to learn what works best for ourselves.
