Carbs while sleeping (bulking)

sicko · 09-03-2006, 02:08 AM

Hey.....
Can you explain me to me what happens (in physiological matter)....
If for example....i ate my cottage cheese at 1 am..... Then I woke up at 6.20 am and because I was hungry and i could not sleep I ate the small pancake I made the day before( oats ,egg whites,casein protein,cinnamon only) (30 carbs,30 protein).and this helped me sleep for another 3 hours until 9 am....
Do those carbs become fat because I was sleeping? isnt my body starving to have some carbs because I didnt have them for 7-8 hours?..
Note: my breakfast at 9 am was a bit reduced in carbs.....like 40-50 grams instead of 70-80.......and this a non-workingout day....
Also I had shoulders workout in the AM and legs workout in the PM at 6 o-clock the previous day.......

From what I understand, eating carbs right before bed and in the middle of the night because it blunts the release of human growth hormone and subsequently prevents an increase in local concentrations of IGF-1, which helps support muscle growth and repair.
