Eat before or after a workout?

After. Before a workout, one should make sure they are hydrated. During a workout, water should be drank or is it drunk or drinked (sorry). An hour should be between a last meal and a workout. After eating, nutrients are absorbed into the body from the stomach. During a workout, nutrients are brought to the muscles while waste materials are carried away. It is a strain on the blood circulation--the heart, to try to do both at the same time.

Not right before, but a few hours before so you’ll have energy for the workout. Eating a protein filled meal soon after the workout will enhance the outcome of the workout.

Ideally one should eat both before and after. If eating before, it should be 1+ hours depending on how the individual feels. It should be a snack or meal higher in carbs and lower in fiber. After working out, one should eat as soon as possible. A meal that has a balance or protein, carbs, and fat is ideal. Protein helps the muscle repair; carbs are depleted from the muscles during the workout and they are most receptive to take more in soon after the workout, so eating them soon after helps with recovery; fat is also helps with recovery.

I prefer to eat after. Well I eat about an hour before and then when I’m done with my workout. Otherwise I get serious sugar cravings.

I think after because you might mix all your food and get sick but maybe a granola energy bar do you can get some energy before but like a meal no.

If it’s morning workout I prefer to eat after it. Speaking about afternoon or evening workouts I like to eat 1 hour before to feel more powerful

Personally it depends on how I’m feeling. Usually I’m not hungry yet so I just workout. If I’m hungry I’ll eat a small breakfast and eat another small breakfast after :) that way I’m not too hungry or too full either lol

I personally prefer after. If I eat while I’m full it feels like all the food will jiggle around in my tummy and it actually kind of hurts sometimes depending on how intense the workout.

Eating before a workout can cause a stomachache, so eat after a workout. Just make sure you drink more water than you eat afterwards.

I generally have dinner and then workout, but it’s important after a workout to replenish your body. I workout late, so I like to have a banana or post workout shake(something light)
