Will Late-Night Carbs Make You Fat?
Episode description
If you eat carbs before bedtime, you’ll become fat. At least, that’s what people have been claiming for decades—but is it true or just another fitness myth?
Today, we have a new study looking into whether carbohydrates eaten in the evening are more prone to becoming body fat, and whether it matters if the carbs are of the fast (tasty) or slow (boring) kind.
We round off the episode with a listener question about 1RM-based training programs in the StrengthLog Workout Tracker App.
