I know there are fellow "Gym Rats" like me here. I will say this... AT 47, my goal is to "maintain a overall healthy lifestyle and appearance". That being said, life is all about "moderation". I would argue that if one were to eat a sugar-filled carb bonanza like some of the cereals I enjoy, eating it first thing in the morning and having all day to burn it off is better than having it later in the evening.
