Lose weight faster by eating carbs in the evening only

... and for the record, I have never suggested that a lifter would actually benefit more from eating one or two meals a day when I was taking steps towards deconstructing the meal frequency myth since it is often presented a stone written element where one will not grow and/or develop immense fat tissue due to decremented metabolic rate if frequent meals are not implemented throughout the day. When I argue against the line of thought behind small frequent meals, this does NOT necessarily mean that I am suggesting the exact opposite, being 1-2 large meals a day. I am trying to understand why you have a tendency to read into my posts, can't really come up with an answer though. My suggestion would be 3-4 meals as opposed to both 1-2 large meals and 6-8 small meals, which is quite on the moderation side of meal frequency. Also, I am well aware of the fact that you are diabetic, which means small frequent meals will work better for you than anyone else concerning metabolic responses revolving around blood sugar.

On a last note, I would like to answer a previous question of yours: why do I think our bodies would operate differently than pro BBs and its reflections on diet. Well, here is how: If you are looking at a super heavy weight lifter who is around 280lbs off season, then you are looking at a daily caloric intake at around 9000cals (give and take). It would take a mentally insane person to suggest that a lifter at that size would benefit from 1-2 large meals as opposed to diving his massive daily calorie intake to 6-8 meals. However, if you are a natural amateur lifter with a BW of 150lbs per se, I don't see how it would be such a disaster if you ate a total of 3 meals a day and hit your daily TDEE of 2600 cals in three sittings.

Yes, I am nitpicking, sort of just messing with you.

But my point about a large meal at night and metabolism would be our bodies our on a time clock, per se. Naturaling adapting to the way we eat, times we go to sleep, etc. etc...

I would assume most people do not eat a large meal before going to bed....Then assuming that our bodies will naturally slow their metabolism around our normal bedtime and when we are actually asleep. Meaning, by eating large meal before bed we could counter act our hiberation/fasting state slow metabolism and increase it during our sleep..

Like I stated already, if I have a large meal before bed I tend to wake up much much more hungry. My interpretation of this would be that I sped up my metabolism during sleep thus making me more hungry when I woke up...

Although, I have never incorporated that into a daily diet routine, it kind of interests me to try it out to see how my body will respond...Assuming I wake up more hungry everytime, perhaps I can increase my metabolism during sleep which might have it's benefits

I don't know, if you normally don't have a large meal before bed try it and see if you wake up more hungry. Maybe, it will be different for you...

i see what your saying about the large meal before bed. i have around 1000-1200 cals around 800pm everynight and still wake up hungry. it usually subsides some when i have a cup of joe. i have only been eating like this since the 1st of the year. was at 186 Jan 1st, now at 173. i still have a ways to go but it is easier to me to track cals eating only two big meals a day. i am curious as to how my metabolism changed from eating 6-8 meals a day just 6 months ago to eating 2-3 meals a day in an 8 hour window.
