Total opposite personally. I carb load before bed so I don’t have to eat breakfast.
Hm.

bro you're never going to find a solid answer to this, i could easily post up 10 studies going one way or the other. trying to debate these little chit studies is just a pissing contest of "i told you so" and "nuh uh here''s a study done on 3 gerbils born without a left nut"

I would recommend mornings to fully spike levels then do simples rest of the day to keep metabolism guessing and body able to fully use carbs rest of the day as it wont be bogged down consuming complex carbs.

As for nights recommend against it as it's counter intuitive to natural growth levels being able to spike properly but to each their own.

It's good that some people are naturally lean and can get away with it, but your average chubby person can't.

Sugar is not really meant to be consumed by people. Fruits are fine, to an extent, but even then you probably don't want to eat too many bananas, although they are great to have as a pick-me-up.

Still a long shot from sitting at night and consuming a pint of ben & jerries and 3 pop tarts, then going right ahead, and advocating that every one else do the same, all whilst you are sweating profusely, for what ever reason.
ehhh debatable. If you do complex carbs first meal you'll set the tone for the day. If you're constantly eating complex carbs body will not use them as well. I am not saying eat candy and chit throughout the day but variances so you're not just eating potatoes/pasta all day. Personally minimal to no carbs pre bed, just meats/proteins etc.

I prefer the small brosciency meals tbh anyway. Did IIFYM for a long time and thought it was the be all end all but would look the same year after year despite gaining good strength/muscle when in a surplus. I feel better and train better when I'm doing the stereotypical chicken/broc****/rice with the occasional treat thrown in vs the yolo IIFYM method.

At the end of the day though, it's all about what works best for each individual. That's the beauty of the whole thing; you can take science and apply the "proven" methods and they may not work as well for you as they do the next guy and vice versa. Finding what works for you and seeing it pay off is an amazing feeling

Meh, I don't care if it's bro science, eating the way I do makes me feel and look better. 3 full meals with 2-3 snack in between. Most days no processed carbs, just yams/brown rice/veggies. I know a lot of people who are on the IIFYM thing. If it works for them, great, but eating processed carbs makes me feel sluggish and crappy which affects my training.

No you're smart srs, can only eat clean for so long before the body becomes accustomed to it and "junk food" will shock the metabolism keeping it confused.

Besides that, total caloric intake and adherence is what matters. If you hit your macros and micros, it's next to completely irrelevant as to how frequent you eat, whether it's all in one meal, whether you're doing IF, anything
Pretty much. A little interesting personally that once I start eating I do get hungry about every 3 hours.

Well I don't do night time carbs so I CAN skip breakfast, but I often don't have solid food until later in the day, maybe 10 AM or some days as late as 1 or 2 PM.

What I think causes me a little issue with grazing is a tendency to graze on junkier stuff vs. higher likelihood of meat and/or vegetables if I'm thinking of something as a meal. I should have some better stuff already made up on hand. Goals...

Food prep. I cook my food on the weekends so it's ready to go for work week. There's no way I could cook every night. Also keep healthy stuff you could graze on around.

When I was actually in shape, I made my quickest and best gains by eating 6-8 smaller meals a day. High protein, only complex carbs, and greens. The traditional Muscle Mag type stuff. You can almost feel the difference; your body takes in and burns. Takes in and burns. People over complicate things.
