working out late and PWO??

Your total calories over each 24 hr period is more important than worrying about having carbs at a particular time of the day so your workout time is irrelevant. From the FAQs I seem to recall that even when cutting you still want to get about 1g carb/kg straight after your workout (and again ~2 hours later?) but you need not have carbs with your pre-workout meal/shake.

1g carb/kg of BW?
That is insane... if I followed that I would have to suck bread through a straw to get that much.

Admittedly I can't find where I got that figure from. I should've checked before posting. But I thought it's still important to replace muscle glycogen post workout even when cutting. But let's say you did wanna get 1g carb/kg well you could easily add enough dextrose or maltodextrin powder to your post-workout protein drink. Sweetness/solubility doesn't seem to be much of an issue when shaken with ~700 mls of water so you can ditch the bread and straw . . .

I found where I got it from - Bryan's Eating for Size article. My memory did serve me correct but of course this article was about bulking, not cutting:
"It is recommended that at least 0.7 - 1.0 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight be consumed immediately after exercise and then again 1-2 hours later."
"It is recommended that at least 0.7 - 1.0 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight be consumed immediately after exercise and then again 1-2 hours later."
