Is it better to eat before or after you workout?

Question

The only time I have to work out is around lunch, so I was just wondering if it makes a difference (losing weight) to work our before or after I eat.

Answer 1

You should eat after. If you are hungry before, eat a Power Bar. This way it will get you through the workout and you won't end up feeling fatigued. Just don't gorge yourself after working out. That's one of the perils of working out on an empty stomach.

Answer 2

You should never work out on an empty stomach. You should eat a piece of fruit around 11 am so it had time to start digesting in your stomach but also give you the energy you need to have a good workout

Answer 3

Personally I always work out before eating. If I eat first my stomach starts to hurt, like stiches or side pain. I do try and drink a liter of water at least 20 mintues prior to working out. Helps fight off any hunger until I can eat again.

Answer 4

I think it's better to eat some carbohydrates before you workout or do something like that.

Answer 5

It's better to work out on an empty stomach.
Less chance of throwing up, or burping acid.
Only trouble is, work-out may give you an appetite.

Answer 6

I think it is healthier to eat roughly 30 min AFTER you work out.

Answer 7

i think its better to eat after a workout so your body can get back the energy and protein it needs...

Answer 8

After.
You know what you've lost after you've exercised, so you know what you should eat.
When you eat before, you're only losing what you've taken in, and there fore, must work harder to lose your original body fat.

Answer 9

eat 20 min prior so ur body has time to break down the protein and turn it to muscle

Answer 10

eat a little before for energy.. and then eat your meal after because you metabolizm will be going strong then.
