Sometimes when I exercise after eating I feel a bit nauseated, but if I don’t eat before I’m too low on energy to exercise. What could I do to avoid this?
Recommended AnswerAI SummaryTo avoid feeling nauseated after exercising post-meal, consider adjusting your eating habits. Aim for smaller, easily digestible meals 1-2 hours before your workout, focusing on carbohydrates and light proteins. Hydration is also key; drink water before and during your exercise. Experiment with the timing and types of food to find what works best for your body. Establishing a routine around meal timing and exercise can help you maintain energy levels while preventing discomfort.
Have a very light and healthy snack... Like you can have a banana or an apple or some soaked dry fruits... These will not give you a feeling of full but will give enough energy to do your high intensity workouts
The best advice I have would be to allocate time between your meal and the exercise. Food spends between 40 minutes to 2 hours in the stomach before moving on to the small intestine. I’d recommend waiting 30-40 minutes before exercising if you had a small snack, or an hour or more if it’s a proper meal. Hope this helps :)
I would recommend oat meals with milk (could be almond milk) and half of a fruit as a smoothie before training and after it a proper breakfast
