Why is it bad to eat carbs at night?

[Anonymous]

If I eat quinoa is still considered bad? Or oats? Almonds?

I love how I come to these nutrition posts and look at all these comments from guys that think they know what's going on... but are just repeating broscience they have heard from someone. Ignore them lol I mean someone's body is their resume for advice on this stuff right? (i know that sounds arrogant, IDGAF)

ITS BROSCIENCE. Don't freak out if you eat carbs at night! Focus more on your overall calorie intake during the entire day, that's the mindset shift you should have in my opinion. The studies show carbs at night are not evil actually, just like carbs in general are not evil.

Ps quinoa/oats are perfect carbs by the way. almonds are awesome too.
avoid the "enriched" carbs ofc

Eating carbs at night isn't bad eating carbs 2-3 hours before bed is bad bc it increase insulin which you don't need it while you are sleeping. The best time to eat carbs is when your day start doesn't matter if it's morning or night also stay away from high GI carbs like white bread cereals pizza etc or limit them at least google it high GI carbs and low GI carbs

i personally don't eat anything after 5pm, 6pm max- unless i'm dining out. eating at night in general is an idea i dont like because it always adds up the next day. i mean if ur hungry go for fruit or yoghurt, but dont go anywhere near carbs i say.

As long as you're getting the amount of calories you need per day, no more, no less, it doesn't matter if you eat carbs before bed. That's just dumb superstition.

Well I have pretty mast metabolism and I never really eat anything unhealthy for me in general so I have no issues with eating after dark but for most people since the body doesn't burn off fat at night it can make them gain weight.

Because you don't burn it off. It can make you gain weight.

You are best to eat most of your food more early in the day. :)

It's bad to eat carbs at night because it is late therefore you will not be able to work it out because you don't move around as much, at night. The carbs then turn into fat in your body. ...
