Couldn't wait for my lunch but can I still do my weights...

Hi All

I just ate my sandwiches as I was super super hungry, if I do my weight training at 1pm will I be OK? my sandwich was chicken and sweetcorn on malted bread.

lucky break, it it'd been tuna you would have been in serious trouble... as its chicken, you should be fine!!!



seriously though, you should be fine lifting, i'd probably wait a bit longer if it was cardio to avoid feeling ill or getting a stitch

Ooooh why can't you eat Tuna?

Thanks for that, I normally do wait for my lunch until after I exercise but today I just felt really hungry.

Depends how whole you like seeing your corn on the other side...

It seriously doesn't matter. I prefer waiting longer but that's my preference.

You'll be fine if you don't mind working out with food in your belly.

Crusts on or crusts off?
Breast meat or dark meat?
Butter or mayo?
These details make a difference......

I decided not to go in the end just incase, I've never worked out on a full stomach before and it was beginning to put me off.

Will do my weights tomorrow.

Probably a good call. If you eat chicken and then train legs, you'll get chicken legs.

Oh geez. OP, everybody is kidding you.

Whether or not you lift on a full stomach is up to personal preference. If you can do it and feel fine, do it. If not, don't do it. I routinely lift after eating a full breakfast (eggs, oatmeal, fruit, coffee) and I feel perfectly fine. However, I normally run on an empty or close to empty stomach because otherwise I feel crummy.
