However, if you aim to lose weight, in my opinion, you should stay away from carbs later on in the day. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Since I'm trying to gain as much mass as physically possible, I eat carbs all day. I usually workout at 5am so I need some sort of energy source before bed or I feel dead and worthless the next morning. I've been purposely eating carbs before bed for over a year and a half now and I'm at somewhere between 7% and 7.5% bodyfat. It pretty much all depends on your metabolism and your personal goals. If you tend to have a slow metabolism, then yes avoid carbs before bed. These will simply go to "storage" overnight, and we all know what that means. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

I'll do it when I have the chance. The baby is a brand new responsibility and my #1 priority right now. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
