If you eat carbs before bedtime, you’ll become fat. At least, that’s what people have been claiming for decades—but is it true or just another fitness myth?
Today, we have a new study looking into whether carbohydrates eaten in the evening are more prone to becoming body fat, and whether it matters if the carbs are of the fast (tasty) or slow (boring) kind.
We round off the episode with a listener question about 1RM-based training programs in the StrengthLog Workout Tracker App.
Timestamps:
- 03:15 – Main subject: Will late-night carbs make you fat?
- 22:00 – Listener question: I’m about to finish my first cycle of a 1RM-based training program that’s given me great results. Should I run another cycle, and if so, how should I adjust my 1RMs?
