Eating carbs at night more fattening?

We often hear that eating carbohydrates at night, fatter, and that, if eaten in the morning do not accumulate as fat. There are divided opinions about it, see what they are:

1. What counts is the total calories throughout the day

This review is the most scientific validity has so far, and argues that what counts is the total calories you eat throughout the day. So if you consume more calories than you burn each day, the difference will be accumulated as fat in our body.

2. Carbohydrates are converted to fat when you eat at night

There are those who support the studies showing that body chemistry changes depending on the time, so that if we eat carbohydrates near bedtime, they will not be burned, but is stored as fat.

This is because at night, the body responds less efficiently to the action of insulin, so that in response to a meal high in carbohydrates at night, there will be greater and more prolonged elevation of insulin, which produces following effects: increased triglycerides, cholesterol lowering protective; acceleration of atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure and accumulation of fat while sleeping.

However, if carbohydrates are consumed in the morning, do not accumulate as fat as the body is more effective with the action of insulin in the early hours of the day. Thus, by eating carbohydrates in the morning, the elevation of insulin sugar introduced into the muscles, increasing energy and fat reserves.

That is why some say the best time to take some snacks or sweets is breakfast over the morning. With the activity that develop throughout the day, we tend to spend the nutrients they provide us and will not accumulate as fat.

Therefore, based on the second opinion, when you crave a sweet snack, it is preferable that the comma in the morning instead of at night.
