My friend is adamant that carbs late at night=bad. I used to follow this idea, and it makes sense. However, I have heard many people, including those on this board, counter that argument. People say that its not what you eat and when, its calories in vs calories out. If I understand that argument, then if someone whos BMR is 2000 calories has eaten 1600 calories thus far, and then eats a peanut butter sandwich (lets say its 400 calories for arguments sake), then he wouldnt gain weight, regaurdless of the unused carbohydrates. Thats how I see the argument anyway...?
So can someone please settle this? I have arguments all the time about it with my friend, but not because I disagree completely , but because I heard otherwise (I still avoid carbs late at night out of fear).
Anyone wanna take a stab at it, from a scientific standpoint?
