Both times are ideal for foods rich in good carbs.

Spread your carbs throughout your day. Try to avoid a lot of carbs before bed.
Read the pre and post workout nutrition sticky at the top of this forum. Take the carbs you need from there for post workout and then spread the remainder of them to the rest of the meals.USPlabs Representative. Alpha Manlet.

All carbohydrates break down into glucose in the small intestine. From the small intestine the glucose enters the blood. We call this blood sugar.Originally Posted by bulkin' up
For immediate energy the glucose is burned by the mitochondria for natural bodily functions and other physical activity. The other glucose is stored as glycogen.
If you eat a lot of carbs before you go to bed, none of the glucose will be going to physical activity and a lot less will be going to natural bodily functions. If you're glycogen stores are full it will be stored as fat.
The amount of carbs that you will get from your cottage cheese and the like will be sufficient.
I hope this was informative

I consume about 300 carbs a day. I consume 100 carbs in the 2 meals bracketing my workout. I consume the other 200 in equal amounts with my other 6 meals. Works for me!

I too consume my carbs in the morning and around workout. I have very little carbs before bed. Maybe 10G..
Besides I love the effect it has in the morning when you wake up all depleted and you have some carbs and you simply inflate within minutes. Right?
