DJ wrote: because carbs are best utalised at the start of the day, they replenish glycogen stores first thing in the day, also they are a faster digesting and absorbing energy source than fats, so you best have them all in the beginning of the day so that by the evening comes you have burned through your carbs through the day so that any additional carbs wont be stored if the glycogen stores in the body are saturated and full... rather eat them in the fist 6-8 hours of being awake so that you you have 16 hours untill the next carb meals so that you will actually deplete any glycogen stores. fats and protein digest slower making you fuller for longer during the later parts of the day.
Thanks for the explanation, well that's my question answered
