    Unfortunately, that is up to your body. I usually need to wait at least an hour if not more depending on what I ate and what my workout will be. That's why I get up and go before I do anything else in the morning! Plus there is the benefit of my body still sleeping while I force it to workout :yawn: Go ahead and workout, take it easy at first and see how you feel!

    I've heard that you should wait for at least an hour before exercising but also it depends on what and how much you ate... some say you should have something small before workout so your energy level is up and it helps burning calories...

    I had 8 oz of chicken breast and 1 cup mixed veggies so im hoping by 8:30 i will be okay to workout i just didn't know if someone was ever told by a trainer or at the gym when they should workout after eating something
