Fitorex«Eating carbohydrates at night makes you fat»
False
What the evidence says
You gain fat by eating more calories than you burn, not because of the time of day. At equal calories and macros, eating carbs at night does not change your body fat; they may even help you sleep better. Spread your meals out in whatever way suits your day.
How settled this is
Total energy balance decides; the time of day is personal preference.
