I am starting a cutting diet. It probably wont be anything great, but I'll try. Last time I went at it..I lost weight quickly, but strength as well. I followed the cutting sticky and I think I cut my carbs too low, making me lose strength/size. My question is, at night, can I have a small amount of carbs without delaying the process? Will this help me hold on to more mass and more strength?
depending on the amount, carbs affect your bodies ability to go into the deeper sleep stages
So would eating carbs at night hinder my weightloss effort? Im not talking a lot..im sayin a lil oatmeal..like 40g

My PPWO is usually around 8-9pm depending on my workout time, and then my pro/fat before bed is usually around 11pm.
What time will you be having your PPWO meal bro? When will you be going to sleep?
If you are an ecto - u can have them before sleep even w/out weights.
If you are more of an endo type - no way Jose.
~SC~
Thats a good point. I only have to think of having carbs in the evening and i put on 10lb of fat :rolleyes: :lol:Quote:

I can also lose weight easily which is what I am focused on now..I am trying to get to 230 or so like you said in my pic thread. I usually workout late (Ill get done anywhere from 10 to midnight) have my pwo pro/carb meal and then thats usually it for the night. I usually stay up late, but also sleep til 10 or 11 so any meal after that is always a pro/fat meal.Quote:

well pretty much everything i eat in pro/fat meals will have some carbs. Unless you are talking about grilled chicken or any type of animal meat.Quote:
