I am about to certify as a physical trainer and yes if you eat complex carbs for dinner unless you are doing a late workout they just sit in your system while you are watching tv and sleeping. . . now fruit and veggies in the evening are okay. but breads rices, and pastas should be eaten earlier in the day.

Absolutely not!!! Your body needs carbs. . You should be more concerned about the types of carbs you are eating and the time of day that you are consuming them. . . :bigsmile:

Heck ya. .. love lentils, or lentil soup, or lentils on a sweet potato

Looks like me ex boss. . . lol you two could be twins.:bigsmile:

You can gain a lot of protein through beans and legumes as well as dietary fiber. . Another thing I would suggest is Quinoa if you have not discovered it yet. . . :bigsmile:
