Should I eat before or after my morning exercise?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Whether to eat before or after your morning exercise depends on your personal goals and how your body feels. If you’re aiming for energy and performance, a light snack before your workout can be beneficial. However, if weight loss is your goal, exercising on an empty stomach may help. After your workout, prioritize a nutritious breakfast to replenish energy and support recovery. Experiment with both approaches to see what works best for you, and remember that consistency in your morning routine is key to developing lasting healthy habits.

I personally think it is better to eat then exercise this you’re burning off the extra calories but whatever works for you

It all depends on the circumstances, everyone is different! For example, I used to go to the gym at 5/6am and I really didn’t fancy eating that early in the morning, but I always found myself nauseous after or feeling very low on energy. Something small like a banana is perfect or a small bowl of oats with banana and honey:)
