Should You Eat Carbs In The Morning Or The Evening?…51:45
Charlie asks: I’m a competitive distance runner and I typically train in a fasted state first thing in the morning. I consume a post-workout meal usually within 30 minutes of finishing my run, which is in line with what you’ve recommended in the past. But I think I may depart from your advice just a bit by including carbs in my morning meal. I’ve experimented with putting off carb consumption until the evening, and my energy levels throughout the day haven’t been to my satisfaction. While my main focus is performance, I was hoping to hear your thoughts on what tradeoffs from a health and longevity standpoint I might be facing by introducing carbs early in the day. Do you have any thoughts on how I might modify my routine?
