I usually eat before I work out, but I’m guessing it’s better to workout before eating. The intermittent fasting information might provide more of a way to go with this, because it encourages some time without food on our stomachs. I think it’s a good idea to go some time without eating.
Scientifically there is no difference between the fat burned whether you have breakfast first or workout. I prefer to have some energising snacks before working out (some nuts, a banana) then have a full on breakfast after the workout with lots of proteins.
If you exercise first it work up an appetite. If you have breakfast first you feel bagged up to exercise. I would say to exercise first seems to be better
I think work out first and then breakfast because when you sit down to have breakfast you may feel lazy and skip the workout
I feel nauseated when I eat first, so I drink 2 glasses of water before exercising and eat immediately after exercising.
I feel for more it is important to have breakfast first before doing physical activity. My stomach is very sensitive when it is empty and I tend to get nauseous when I have gone too long without eating. For some people working out before eating is better for them do it depends what works for your body
It depends on how hard of workout your doing if it’s some stretching I recommend to do it before breakfast but if it’s something hard like a run you should do it afterwards
It’s better to eat something small (like a banana) first, then work out (as long as it isn’t toooo long) then eat afterward.
This is a good question. I personally would workout before I eat breakfast so I can use it as a reward system to motivate me to complete the workout
I believe it is bad for digestion if you work out immediately after having a meal. I usually leave a 20 minutes gap between breakfast and working out. If you have very limited time in the morning, it is not a bad idea to work out first and make the morning ritual smoothly without a pause.
