If your not working out late at night I personally don't see the reason for eating carbs during your last meals unless its timed around a recovery meal. Carbs are stored for energy so why would you need that energy if your just watching tv or about to go to sleep?
To me the common reasoning of not eating carbs before bed makes sense in regards to cutting.

Exactly what I was posting about. I presumed everyone was talking about morning/afternoon workouts, and nighttime nutrition. Whether there's studies done or not, you have to look at "black and white" results across the boards. What do most people have success with the most? Trainers such as Dante and IA tote the cuttoffs. I don't know about any others. Best way to know for certain is to give it a try for a month and see how your body responds.
I think the only "scientifically backed" theory is obviously keeping your carb intake on the low side of the GI (55 at most). Insulin spikes any time other than postworkout IME won't help your cause. And I'm speaking from experience LOL..
Of course, if you're working out in the evening you need postworkout carbs! No, wait a minute... Just take a few scoops of protein and 3 cups of broccoli!
