No carbs after [blank]

[Guntz]

I'm sure most of us have heard a very basic rule for cutting: no carbs after noon. Or sunset. Or 3 PM. Or whenever. I would like to know if this plan is a good one and if anybody knows any scientific backing behind it.

Thanks.

It's a baseless strategy. While carb timing is crucial, no carbs after a certain time of the day is ludicrous.

I agree. I eat carbs right up till I go to bed. You just have to find what works for your body.

Your methabolic rate slows down throughout the day. I expect ur activity to also decrease throughout the day. Carbs are energy food. So high carb intakes during these periods are honesty a waste. Not 2 mention the "HIGHER" chance of it being stored as fat if not used.

I'm willing 2 bet that all ur EFA intakes are 2 low unless of course ur breaking another critical rule and mixing fat with carbs

It is ridiculous for someone to tell you that withouth knowing alot of other factors. I train at 8pm, it would make no sense for me to not eat carbs after 12. You should have the majority of your carbs around your training session. Also not all carbs are the same.
