So this is a first for me after being on this for two years.. I think I know the answer but just wanna be sure. I've been working out in the morning and in the afternoon. But I got tons of work and can't workout till later.. like 10pm.I understand the benefits of carbs post workout.. but can I start my carb nite a few hours before my workout? There's no way I can have a 6 hour window period starting from 10pm. If I do start my carb nite before the workout.. what should I do to reap the same benefits as if I had my carbs afterwards?This is just a one time thing, and I dont wanna mess up the rhythm I currently have.
Start your CN but don't stuff yourself before your session or skip the lift or CN and make it up another day.
I guess that was the most logical answer. I was thinking about doing carb nite tomorrow.. but i did plan it for today.. gonna have a nice big dinner with friends and family at 7. I am definitely gonna feel uncomfortable not lifting today though :-/Meh.. I'll just do the carb nite meals at 5ish and 7ish as usual.. then do the 10pm workout.. then 11:30ish do my third carb nite meal.Thanks scope75

Sounds like a good plan, and the gym will always be there tomorrow so don't be afraid to just enjoy your evening.
Lifting (or any exercise) isn't a requirement of CNS, so a day (or even a week) off shouldn't have much effect.I say just enjoy Carb Nite, then go back to your regular schedule when it's convenient.

Exactly and x2I didn't lift last weekend before my CN like usual because I wanted to enjoy a nice day/evening with my GF and then hit the session the next morning to put those carbs to work right away and it worked out great for me.
