I have more energy and push further if I have something small and satisfying like a banana before my workout. Afterward I’m not as hungry and feel more relaxed when I have breakfast.
I have never tried to eat breakfast after the exercise. I didn’t know it’s possible. Currently doing the exercise last gives me that sense of being active to start with my day; studying, designing, working, etc…
For me it’s better to exercise light before breakfast. Or, if it’gsoing to be a hard workout I’ll have a smoothie or something small for breakfast. It depends on yourself and the time you wake up…
There is definitely a difference. If I plan on having a short, easy workout (mostly stretching) then I postpone my breakfast for after the workout because it stimulates my appetite and I have enough energy without it. However, if I plan on having a long and more difficult workout (3+ hrs of dancing) then I eat something beforehand to give me more energy; not anything heavy though, you don’t want to feel lethargic or potentially nauseous. Best of luck!
In the majority of my days I eat breakfast after my exercise. I find that exercise suppresses my hunger. Only on very rare occasions, that I feel very hungry, I might have an apple or a couple of brazil muts before exercise so I won’t feel dizzy.
Hello! I am more energetic after my exercise program. I only drink water in the morning and I eat a good breakfast after my exercise program.
I become 10 times more saticefied when I eat breakfast after I have done the excersise, because I practice on my gratification. when I work out first, groom myself and so forth…first, the breakfast becomes so satifying afterwards. And that is precicely what gives me more energy than if I had eaten breaky before the workout. Hope that helps:)
Have not really noticed a difference in energy, however eating after makes my stomach feel better so I don’t have indigestion during or after the workout
i usually don’t eat breakfast before and at least 2 hours after usually during my fasting window in the morning! best for weight loss 🙂
I find it easier to workout before I eat anything. When I exercise first thing in the morning I feel lighter and more capable than if I eat breakfast first. I find it harder to motivate myself to workout once I’ve eaten my first meal and when I eat and then exercise I feel like I can’t give it as much effort.
