Do you eat before you exercise or do you exercise before you eat?

I used to have a big hearty meal to eat first before taking a jog two hours later or so. Then due to various circumstances I ended up exercising first and then eating a meal afterwards. Now I kinda do both what with different meal changes.

Which do you find works better for you? Exercising first usually makes you feel lighter than having eaten a couple hours previously, I always find to be so.

You're kind of stretching what most people would consider eating before exercising if you wait 2 hours after you've ate. It depends why you're exercising, and what your goals are. I always have a light meal about 30 minutes before hand, usually some kind of fruit. Eating a big meal is usually a bad idea and should be left be for longer periods of time before the exercise(like 2-3 hours).

Both before and after.

I don't eat right before exercise because it tends to make a person nauseous. But two hours before working out, that's probably fine.

Do not carb load with fettucini alfredo 20 minutes before a race.

Um, both?

I don't eat right before I exercise since an intense workout could make me throw up, but I eat before for some energy and after as well. Usually something with protein and veggies or fruit before, then a protein shake or bar after.

I'll probably eat 1-2 hours before exercising.

If im hungry and i want to exercise. I get the things done first before i eat. I mean why would you eat then workout? Your stomach works faster when you are exercising and with the food in your stomach not blending leads to diare. Lol true story.

Although working out is supposed to curb your appetite..That might be BS though, so I should stop reading random articles off the internet, haha.Suzy_Q_Kazoo

I usually exercise about 2 hours before I go to bed, but I'll eat earlier in the day, and after I exercise. I'm in pretty decent health, I think.

I eat.

Oatmeal + banana + tea then workout 30 minutes later. I always get best results when my energy is high, which is just after a meal.

I usually get up around 4-5 in the morning and have breaky, mainly something with lots of carbs and atleast 20g of Protein, then i will do a weights workout and have a protein shake straight after and eat a big breakfast with plently of protein and carbs

I eat before otherwise I'd pass out.

I eat half an hour before training, and just after training.. But only train abbs on a empty stomach

Do you poop before you eat, or do you eat before you poop?

I usually eat an hour or two before I go exercise. However, I don't eat a lot, I only have a snack.

i usually snack before i excersize then eat a meal after.

i take no xplode

It varies a lot.

I eat, then i eat again. What is exercise?
