So, question about eating certain types of foods at various times of the day.

I know you shouldn't eat a ton of carbs before you go to bed, but what about a food high in fat? IE: Peanut butter

Bad idea or good idea or a no effect idea?

Fat before bed is okay, as long as it is from a healthy source.
A good bed time meal for example, would be fat free cottage cheese with milled flax seeds in it.

I normally have some cottage cheese and peanut butter, which is why I ask (:

Peanut butter? Not high in carbs? Its less likely than you think.

Calories in/Calories out

Don't eat a food with a ton of carbs, don't eat a food with a ton of fat.

Eat a smaller, balanced meal.
example: 50% P/ 25% C/ 25% F

Durr?

25% carbs imo is a little low. I'm normally aim for 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat

I might try a low carb diet after I get back from my trip though. I'm interested to see how that would go...

Good fat is raw energy, it's good for you. Go 40P/20C/40F

Eat to replenish yourself. Check out the Zone diet.

protein before bed is fine, just not that "close" to bed/sleep. try 1 hour - 30 mins, or longer if you can wait.

Well, its been about an hour since I've eaten anything... almost always try to eat a bit before I go to bed anyways.

So far, what i have worked out that I could reasonably eat for a low carb diet works out to be around 29% fat, 15% carbs and 49% protein. Just a spur of the moment list though.

I actually meant those were the typical pre-bed macros.
Low carbs pre-bed because you don't need the energy, but the moderate amount of healthy fat and lots of protein is needed.

Normally, I would have the most carbs for breakfast and PRE/POST workout, then lower them and add more veggies for dinner and snacks at night.
