    I usually wait about an hour or so.

    Just seems to me that someone who takes the time to list a long string of "qualifications" might have better used some of that time to read the entire post and discover the core question before giving a flippant, two-word answer with no backup.
    You're just miffed that I can wait 10 hours.:laugh: If asked I can elaborate. It got you to read the post and not skim over it.

    I have not qualifications except that i am me and it asked how long i wait so i am guessing it is poll of sorts so. I wait about 9 to 9 and 1/2 hours. I eat at 5am go to bed at 630am and get up 300pm and work out at 330pm.

  • here's a simple answer: small meals 1 hour or so and big meals 2 hours or so... i ate baked salmon started working out at about 45 mins and after that, got so light headed and breathing heavily.. when i burped i realize i didnt digest properly and that when u eat u should stand to digest. told my self to wait longer before working out..
