No Carbohydrates Before Bedtime if You Want to Stay Lean

carbohydrates, before you hit the sack, is probably a bad idea if you’re looking to stay lean…
Consuming a large portion of carbohydrates before you go to bed will probably increase the amount of fat your body stores in the middle of the night.

Not exactly what you were looking for, right?
If you’re looking to stay lean and you’re looking to keep the fat off, then it’s probably a good idea to avoid all carbohydrates before going to bed.

Instead, go to bed and have just a small protein meal (cottage cheese, protein shake, chicken breast), and make sure you don’t consume any carbohydrates at least 3 hours before you go to bed.
