here’s my take.
If you eat before, you’ll have calories in your blood sugar ready to work. You work off your meal basically. You also risk cramps if you workout too soon. Cramps can kill a workout.
If you eat after, you’ll use more stored calories (body fat), and the proteins you eat after have much better chance of being absorbed by your sore muscles. The downside being that you need to push yourself harder because you don’t have that “ready energy” already in your blood stream.
Personally – I eat a little before. You need SOME energy at the ready. You cant do it all with body fat. I like a low-fat yogurt and a banana. That’s plenty carbs and protein for me pre-workout, and it doesn’t cause cramping. After, I drink whey protein drinks as they metabolize the nutrients almost immediately where food takes a few hours.

    Try yoga! Its amazing. The best way is in the morning before you eat breakfast. You may ache or cramp if you eat too soon before! Ever ran after food and felt that horrid stitch? So yes I def. recommend a fresh morning workout then a nice cold shower followed by a healthy but energising breakfast! Perfect way to start a day!

    Your question isnt exactly clear. A little bit more detail would be great. But you generally shouldnt eat a couple hours before you work out. Obviously you need some carbs and stuff in your system but after you excersize youll need to replace your bodies amino acids with protein. Hope this helped :)

  • waking up early to exercise, like running and stuff is good to do because in the morning you have a higher metabolism. then after the runing eat
