Could the timing of when you eat, be just as important as what you eat?

Recently I haven't been eating after 7pm and although I've eaten a shedload of carbs, in fact a shedload of everything, I haven't gained weight. Because of not eating later I'm eating more in the morning, anyway, it works for me.Quote:

Good luck for the contest.Quote:

Thanks.Quote:

I don't have hunger issues though, even though until now I've usually stopped eating by 7:30, except for a couple scoops of peptopro or hydrolyzed casein around 9 before sleep.
Then I usually don't eat until noon, although I get about 20 grams of carbs in my morning cuppa doc-prescribed pomegranate juice. I may have to move that until afternoon, though, to keep that fast going longer.
Saw palmetto helps me considerably with getting up to pee in the night. I ran out a month ago so I guess it's time to reorder.Quote:

I was under the impression that casein is, relatively-speaking, slow digesting. Or does hydrolyzation dramatically change that? I suppose i could go for cottage cheese or just a slug of cheese, but the former is really expensive here
saw palmetto didn't do much for me. Maybe i should stop drinking one of my 6 daily quarts of water in the evening. Duh?!
Peptopro is hydrolyzed casein, which means that it's pre-digested. The only thing faster would be EAAs. Regular Casein is slow.Quote:

Of course the timing is an important factor, always try to eat on right time. No matter how hard you work out, if you don’t eat healthy diet on right time, you won’t see the results you expect.

Interested in your results.
Will you be changing the composition of your diet at all? Will you be fasting before your "real food meal"?
If you keep it all constant it would be a great experiment to feature on your log.
Same here, i've been eating about 40 g of carbs for breakfast and then all the rest about an hour postworkout plus a protein and carb shake after working out. rest of the meals are higher in fat and fibrous carbs. Been loosing alot of fat and retaining most of the muscle mass
I think in the long run, carbohydrates will be what needs to be timed. On workout days I suspect carbs on either side if a workout will be used by the body for energy and growth. I'm always conscious of when I consume my carbs. I think that, so far, I can get away with eating shed loads of them on workout days as long as I stay lower carb on none workout days.
last night in my sleep, I ate an entire can of icing you know for cakes, it means a lil more cardio today but is 3 am early enough? lol IMO these things are small potatoes for me, if I was 260 lean, competing, needed every edge I could get then I'd be concerned
I eat carbs all day long just good ones like brown rice and sweet taters fuck it :)
lol srs??Quote:
