what do you guys say about complex carbs later at night. say 5-7pm, I hit the sheets around 9-10pm.. should i shy away from nuts and oats at night, or are they ok?

Well - Complex carbs in regards to what? After/before training or just in general?

Also nuts are not a complex carb... And 5-7pm is not really late at night!


But, generally speaking, as long as you are eating the correct calories/macronutrients for your goals then you can eat your carbs (and nuts - which are a fat) when ever you want.
