Do you recommend a good breakfast even if I exercise heavily every morning after it?

You always need to eat a good breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day! However give yourself about 5-10 minutes to allow your breakfast to settle in.

Hello, I do not recommend exercising after eating, in general, unless you wait from 30 mins (if you ate something light) to 2 hours (if you ate something heavy). I would always recommend you to eat a great breakfast, so my advice to you would be to either eat something like a banana or drink a smoothie to power you and then you wait 30 miss then start your workout routine, or to do what I do, which is to switch between the exercise habi and the great breakfast habit. So you will start your morning by drinking water, exercising and THEN eating your great breakfast. This way you don’t upset your stomach and wouldn’t have to weait 30 mins to get on with your exercise as most of us don’thave that much to spare in the morning especially if we have things to do.

Yes, only because I was a person of habit to eat only a little bit when I first wake up to go to the gym so I would at least be able to have the energy for the gym. I wasn’t eating enough before the gym and would feel sick or feel like I was going to pass out. Now I am always for eating a better breakfast and drinking lots of water before the gym in the morning.

i feel like you should start with a small but we’ll nitritioned breakfast before the workout and eat another small portion after

I think they say to have something light like a banana and oatmeal and then have a large breakfast after an intense workout. Or if you just eat a large breakfast and then wait 30 minutes I think that’s also fine but I don’t bdo bodybuilding or Olympic training so idk Google it loo

No. Light but high in fiber and protein. Not heavy or a lot of calories. Yogurt and granola and fruit is a great option to me when I do that.

Yes, i do. Listen to your body to understand what’s better for you, personally if i exercise in the morning i prefer have my breakfast after workout, but if you need energy you can have it before :)

Based on past experience with exercise after dinner, I did best with a light meal before exercise, then a heavier meal after . But if a heavy breakfast doesn’t make you sick, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Yes a good breakfast is important just because you have a good breakfast doesn’t .even it has to be a lot of food

Yes. A good breakfast doesn’t mean a heavy breakfast. Choose something light but filling. Like toast with avocado on top and Greek yogurt with chia seeds to keep you satiated longer. If you work out intensely, don’t go for meat, or eggs in the morning, they will make you feel heavy.
