If you exercise in the morning, should you eat before you work out?

Kasm asked:


I wake up every morning at 8 to exercise. Should I eat something before I workout? If so how long should I wait after eating to exercise? I don’t really have time in the morning so Im planning on just waking up and working out on a empty stomach.

Any opinions?

    The mornings and eat and eat and then work out and walk or work out think you take supplements read the supplement then work out and then work out first if you take supplements read the mornings and walk or.

    if you are doing cardio drink tea or coffee first. that way you burn off your fat

    if you do weights eat something before so you dont burn muscle.

    The same reason its not eating good luck.
    The same reason its not recommended to drink otherwise would recommend not eating before exercise for the same reason its not recommended to go swimming right.

    2 things you should do before working out. I have 3 things I have to do.
    1. You should eat something…cereal, pancakes with applesauce…something with carbs in it.
    2. You should do 5 minutes of stretching before you exerice.

    (me? the 3rd thing…I have to shower to warm up).
    Which reminds me…always warm up first..

    Just water and a piece of fruit should work.

  • rockybjerke:

    If you’re exercising in the morning, you should be eating within the first hour that you’re awake. Whether it be a total breakfast (not completely recommended if you’re doing a full workout – cardio/weights) or a bowl of cereal or fruits. But yes, you should be eating SOMETHING!!!!!!

    I usually eat a light meal half hour before working out. for instance a banana and yogurt or just almonds and raisins.

    An hour if you are hungry.
