Do you eat before exercise or after?

Answer 1

Yes, you can eat before an exercise, but make sure it is a small portion and is healthy. You wouldn't want to go eat a cake or chips and then go work out. But salad, fruits, etc. are fine. But just so you don't get a side ache maybe wait 30 min MAX. you don't need to wait that long though, but somewhere around there. Hope this helped:]

Answer 2

Depends on what you're after.

Exercising before breakfast will force your body to use fat as fuel, as all easier sources have already been used up during the night.

So it's "good" if fat/weight loss is your main concern.

But turning fat into muscle fuel is a slower process than turning food into muscle fuel, so it's "bad" if you want a real intense workout to gain speed/strength.

Answer

Because you haven't eaten since before you went to sleep, you need some energy to keep you going through your exercising. However, you should never work out on a full stomach, because your digestive system shuts down partially while you work out. So, have a light healthy snack, like a piece of fruit or an energy bar, and then eat a real breakfast after you are done exercising.

do not eat right befor you go for a jog. eat domething light (like a banana or half a bagal) around 15-30 min befor and you should be fine. if you are going on a long run i suggest that you consume a product called "Gu" befor you run and while you are running. they have around 100 calories and will help keep your electrolytes up. One ofther thing i sugges is that you drink "Cyto-Max" (made by Cyto-Sport) instead of gaterade. it dose the same thing for you as gaterade but is somewhat better for you. you can find both of these products at GNC.
