It all depends on what time you train, you should have your starchy, higher glycemic carbs timed around your workouts even if it is 9pm, those carbs at that time will go toward glycogen repleneshment.

Everyone is throwing the word carbs around, the is a huge difference in carbs, if I eat a bag of potato chips and I eat a bowl of oatmeal my body will treat them very differently.
