Fitness MYTH!

Let me just say, when I first found out the truth about this fitness "myth", I was SO happy!  Here it is:
Eating carbs at night is NOT going to ruin your diet.  YAY!!!  I've passed up carbs at dinner for months now and I'm SO happy to hear this news.  Here is the catch though:
CARB TIMING
To make it simple, you want to place the majority of your carbs around your workouts.  I workout first thing in the morning, right after breakfast - so for me, I have 60% of my total days carbs around my workout.  So my first and second meal of the day get mucho carbs.  Then that other 40% get spread throughout the day fairly evenly.  So I don't get to have bowls of speghetti for dinner...but I do get some carbs and that makes me a happy camper.  So, what if you don't workout first thing in the morning?  Take 50% of your total carbs for the day and put them at your pre and post workout meals - so 25% and 25% then the other 50% can be spread throughout the day however you see fit. 
Seem confusing?  Ok, say you have 4 1/2c servings of carbs throughout your day - that equeals 2 cups total for the day.  So one cup would be put around your workout: 1/2c pre and 1/2c post.  Then you have one other cup to spread throughout the day however you like.
I don't know about you, but this makes me HAPPY! :)  With that being said....I have a yummy recipe to follow!
