Question: If working out in the morning to you eat breakfast before or after you workout.?
Answers:

Actually, you should eat before you work out. Contrary to popular diet advice, and for some valid reasoning.

Why? Well, when you are low on energy (ie have not eaten since the night before) your body has now gone several hours without fuel. While you can exercise, you will NOT be able to exercise to your greatest ability/max. So, the net result is you will be not burning as much, or building as much muscle, and so forth, by doing that. Your body will be low on the fuel it needs, and you will possibly "bonk" or at least tire out earlier, therefore be less effective when you DO work out.

As long as you are eating the proper amount of calories through the day (over 5-6 mini meals), exercising after you have a bit of something to eat really is wise if you want the overall benefit of becoming fitter and stronger, because you will be able to push your body much further then it woudl if you did not eat beforehand.

If you are only doing something for 15-20 minutes, you'll be alright without eating beforehand, but if you are going in excess of 30 minutes and up, I highly recommend eating at least something like a banana or/and oatmeal or yogurt beforehand. Before morning runs or yoga or hitting the gym, I usually eat only a banana or something, as too much makes me very queasy if I am running, and nothing makes me even more queasy. Then I follow up with rest of my breakfast within an hour of work outs (to replenish muscles). Don't forget to hydrate!

Hope this helps!



i would say eat half before and half after because you will have barely any energy if you dont eat anything
