replenish glycogen vs. eating late
I have a question about replenishing glycogen stores. I ride after work from about 5:30pm to 7:15pm. After a few minutes of talking I drive home. I get home around 7:50pm and drink some chocolate milk (about 8 oz.) I've read that you shouldn't eat 2 hrs before bedtime. I am not a night person so I'm ready to head off to bed around 9:30pm. So my question is do I eat to replenish glycogen stores even though it's close to bedtime or do I just hold off and eat the next day? If I don't eat at night will my legs be ready to go the next evening? I've read it takes 24 hours to replenish glycogen stores. If I do eat how many calories are needed to replenish glyocogen stores? Thanks in advance for your input.
