    which is the best way? To eat before or after workout?

    Both, I eat every 3 hours, so technically
    Always have a pre and post work out Meal

    This is me as well @watts6151 with the pre workout meal consumed an hour before the workout and the post workout more or less straight away if I have worked out late at night or an hour or so if the workout is before lunchtime.

    depends on the time of day...usually lunch or dinner...

    there is going to be little to no benefit of eating right after a workout for most people...for most people, overall diet is numero uno...most of this kind of stuff is beneficial to the elite level athlete, not your average Joe/Jane knocking out 30 minutes on the elliptical or pushing and pulling some weight for an hour.

    I don't eat anything specifically for post workout. If it's a morning workout, I just have my coffee and breakfast after my shower. If its an evening workout, I go home and cook dinner and eat it.

    I am usually done with my workouts midmorning so I just have a snack, usually a protein bar (Quest) and a banana. I should start making smoothies again because I have had a craving for them, but I am lazy!

    I do try to make sure I'm eating some protein/carbs afterward a workout. Sometimes, it's just dinner or I might have a protein shake, protein bar, or some Greek yogurt and honey nut Cheerios. It depends on when I worked out.

    anything that's too slow to escape . . .

    actually, these days i lift first and then go do my grocery errands. so lately i've been buying a couple of extra oranges and finding somewhere to eat those before i head home.
