Evening Carb Strategy
Ben shares his approach to meal timing, emphasizing a diet rich in omega-3 fish and healthy fats while minimizing carbohydrates until dinner. This strategy not only helps maintain stable energy levels throughout the day but also enhances insulin sensitivity post-workout, allowing for indulgence during evening meals. By saving carbs for later, he effectively manages glycemic variability and maximizes nutrient partitioning into muscle tissue.In this clip

What would you consider more healthy: Eating eggs, bacon, and vegetables (no carbs) at 12:00, eating some oats and Greek yogurt at 16:00, and having dinner at 19:00 where the dinner is 1/3 meat, 1/3 carbs, and 1/3 vegetables? Or dropping the bacon and adding some carbs to lunch next to the eggs and adding more protein to other meals? I also fast from 20:00 in the evening to 12:00 the next day. My priority for food is studying and health, which is why I haven't eaten any carbs at lunch, so I don't feel sleepy. But I'm thinking of adding a little bit of carbs. What is your take?
Is it better to have carbohydrates around an early morning workout or for dinner if it's quite late?
