Yea, so I'm a noob trying to go from 230 - 200 lbs @ 6'4 (bf?). I'm not counting calories all the time, but am eating a lot less calories, lift heavy and eat about maybe 200 g of protein a day?
I like to eat a big dinner so i try to eat around 600 - 900 calories during the day so i can have a satisfying dinner.
So the problem I'm having is that I don't have enough calories in my system for energy for when i go workout(around 3:00pm) and tire easily. Ive read that if you eat carbs before hand your workout, they'll be used as fuel for workout(energy).
I also heard they if you don't use them, they'll turn into fat.
So, does anyone know about how long carbs stay in your system without turning into fat and can be used as energy?
BTW, i dont use pre'work out drinks and dont want to.

i dont think the issue you have is how long before the carbs turn into fat (ftr any cals not burned off will eventually turn to fat) but for how long will the carbs you are eating will supply you with energy. Personally, I find it best to get some complex carbs (ex. oatmeal) about 45 minutes before I workout.

uptake of glucose into the blood from the GI tract from a meal consisting of carbs eaten with protein, fat, and fiber will last for many hours.

First of all, carbohydrates will first be stored as glycogen(stored energy that your body will use after your body has used up all the carbohydrates it has taken). Once there isn't enough space for those carbohydrates it will be stored as fat usually around 2 and a half to 3 hours.

Well he said 6 eggs in the morning is too much protein, so...Uhh...Yeah.
"He will not use the 36g of protein. There is an amino acid pool in your body (protein is made up of amino acids) once that amino acid pool is filled up, there is no use for protein. Therefore: In fact, a lot of it would be stored as fat."
You can add "eating 6 eggs in the morning" to the list of things that will surely make you fat. "Carbs after 6 pm," "no cardio training," and "saturated fats" were sure getting lonely on that list all alone.

Great link which goes a long way to answer your question:
Leave it to climbers, cyclists and other athletes to answer the more difficult questions. Muscle-heads are generally not apt at much else or they wouldn't be content hanging out around a bunch of lead weights and mirrors...

It wouldn't let me submit this response with the full link, so I shortened it, but you should be able to find it...

"Carbohydrates are rarely converted to fat (a process called de novo lipogenesis) under normal dietary conditions. There are exceptions when this occurs. One is with massive chronic overfeeding of carbs. I’m talking 700-900 grams of carbs per day for multiple days. Under those conditions, carbs max out glycogen stores, are in excess of total daily energy requirements and you see the conversion of carbohydrate to fat for storage. But this is not a normal dietary situation for most people."
