Carb Cut off point..What's the best time.. - Thursday, February 26, 2009 9:21 AM ( #1 )
Currently I'm cutting. Have oats in morn, then oats again 2nd meal, 3rd meal meat and veggies 4th meal, peanut butter usually. I'm looking to eat 5 times a day now, 6 times on workout days..Like I used to. Feel like I'm going without food far to long, and then over compensating by stuffing myself, leading to bloat.

I'm averaging at 130g of carbs a day. I'm thinking it may be good for me to get more in, unless I'm told otherwise. What's the latest to eat starchy carbs?

I stop all eating around 3 hours before bed while on a cut and it seemed to work pretty well.  My last 2 meals had very little carbs in them.

3 hours? Well my latest generally is like 2-3pm bead is usually 12pm...I think I'll be ok, my current meal times are like so...

9.30 breakfast
1pm dinner
5.30pm tea
10pm peanut butter, protein

I'm changing it up, It's slowly gone from very good timings to the above which is awful!
9am breakfast
12pm meal 2
3pm meal 3
6pm tea
10pm protein, fat meal.

On workout days...
9am breakfast
-workout 11am-
12pm meal Post workout a - whey + maltodextrin
1pm post workout b
4pm small meal
7.30pm tea 
10pm protein/fat.

This look good?

I usually try not to eat any past 7-8 but ideally most of the time around 4.

I always make sure I eat something high in protein/good fats before bed. Usually tuna/olive oil and cottage cheese for me.

It's not bad, but I would eat something with your tea; you're essentially going 6 hours without food which isn't too good.

Dont completely stop eating so early, to those of you who do.  Cut out carbs earlier but before you go to bed eat something high in protein and fat like nmoney said.

taper carbs throughout the day. most in the morning, least at dinner. I would do mostly all veggies for carbs at dinner.

 Yeah my dinner meal is meat, veggies and fat. then meal 5(6 on workout days) is fat and/or protein. That's cool right? Feel better about eating more frequently today, back into my old routine. Bit off topic, anyone know if broccoli bloats/constipates people? I've been getting mad bloat later at night, which is after my dinner which half of is brocolli. Apparently it's hard to digest. Can't think what else it is...
