Somethings to conciser here that may assist you..Like everyone else stated about the reasons why to attempt to time them and so on is huge but lets look at some other things!
First, what time to do normally work out? If you can, try and schedule it towards the PM hrs, I'll explain why in a bit..
secondly, try carb back-loading..This is an effective way for "some" to help with carb cravings if you have any, especially when trying to lean down..
Essentially reducing carbs is our attempt to induce a state of themogenesis and have our body use fat as a fuel, but it can be catabolic as well, depending on your goal will ultimately boil down to what best suits your needs..
Bear in mine and even carb back-loading in the PM our bodies will still burn during the following day in the AM and mid PM hrs, but people tend to think just in reveres with this process.. This can help assist with the craving and hunger brought on the next day.. We can slice and dice all sorts of carb cutting/loading phases along with timing but at the end of the day most are honestly equivocal in many senses with some trade-offs here and there (individual based).. - in terms of leaning down
If carbs are an issue and if you possibly have sensitivity issues, carb back-loading just may be for you, plus it can assist with keeping you from flattening out..
Carbs and BGL/BS can be a very isolated topic, because what works for one person may not work for the next.. Genetics, family history, metabolism, ultru-metabolisation, insulin sensitivity, training and much much more can all play a huge factor..
My closing statement will be:
When it concerns carbs, it ultimately comes down to NOT quantity but rather quality..Know your carbs and make the right choices and now how and when to time them best..Oats, brown rice, yams and sweet potato's and lets not forget about beans, beans are very underrated...If you're restricting most carbs, keep in mind that it's still pivatol for post for reasons that others stated..
If you work out in the later PM hrs the back loading phase will still give you that added fuel for the muscle bellies..back loading can help you gauge and structure your diet throughout the day focusing on other macros..
Rice/beans with some chicken later in the evening is a killer combo, also for digestive properties come the AM..
Try back-loading carbs, and keep post carbs in the mix, see how you make out!
