Honestly, neighter. These two concepts acts separately. When I eat I don’t think that it’s to workout or vice versa, I eat because i know nutrition is key to a healthy life, accompagnated to working out or not.

I eat to work out. I don’t like the idea of having to 'earn' my food. Like, I need food to keep me alive and I think the whole concept of like...almost punishing myself with exercise to compensate for what I eat is just.... I find it kinda scary and depressing. I’d much rather enjoy my food and use it as the fuel it is to stay active and encourage a healthier attitude about exercising

I Eat to work out because it gives me more energy during my workouts and it Makes me feel okay about eating more throughout the day.

I’ve done neither, I think. I think of them so separately that it’s hard for me to really answer that question either way

I’m not 100% sure what you mean....but I would say eat to be able to workout. Food gives us energy to be able to work out. W.o eating you might feel weak or tired and unable to exercise. Hope I helped . ✌💕

I do both because they are necessary to feel my best. My body needs fuel and my body needs movement and these are not tired together for me.

I actually eat to work out, i enjoy both eating and working out however i am craving to have a better body image So for now i prioritize working more than eating

Eat to work out! (please translate it) Nunca pense que você precisa treinar para gastar o que comeu, você precisa comer para gastar no treino. Priorize sempre comidas saudáveis, fibras e proteínas, mas quando tiver vontade de doce, não se restrinja! Você precisa de 80% da dieta na semana para bons resultados, não se esqueça!

I Mac not focusing on food for exercise, I just eat when I am hungry, I exercise a little bit and I also try to eat healthy but when I am not hungry, I will just not eat. Of course I will eat later but not for the exercise

I eat to work out. I don’t eat something, then calculate how much exercise I need to do to negate the amount of calories I’ve just eaten
