Eat before or after workout??

Both? I can't workout on an empty stomach, and I'm usually hungry after I workout.

I agree that you should see what works for you.
My running coach says that if you are strenuously working for 60 minutes, you should have something very small before or during your work out, like 100 calories of simple carbs. Otherwise, you run out of glucose and you don't push yourself as hard as you could. If I do more than 30 minutes, I usually have a half a cup of juice before hand. But you don't need a lot.

I work out in the mornings M-F and I eat breakfast before going to the gym and have a protein shake or something within 30 minutes of finishing my workout. If I dont eat before a workout I tend to end it early because I get hungry.
Just my two cents Damm now I am senseless

I don't eat before working out, because I work out very early in the morning. On cardio days doing a lot of plyo and light weights it would make me sick.

I workout after I get off work and there is a long time in between lunch and getting home for dinner. I have an afternoon snack before my workout and a protein shake after.

If I am hungry, I usually eat something 100 calories (banana, cheese stick) beforehand, and then eat after.

You should let personal preference dictate this decision.

Boom!

Whatever helps to make your workouts more effective.

After workouts because if you've lifted your muscles are more accepting to glucose or "carbs", With cardio, it's pretty much the same thing. So I'd say after but again it's up to you,

Big breakfast 1 hr before, protein shake 20 minutes after weights. Decent meal 2 hrs after (I am ravenous at this pt, only after weight training though). I eat less when I'm not active in the evenings.

IF jogging, meal an hour and a half before, light snack after.

Especially in the morning, I think it's important to eat at least a little bit of food. 100 calories of carbs (not protein) will give you some extra energy for your workout. I say carbs because they are easier to break down, and will give you more immediate energy. Then eat a larger meal with plenty of protein after to fuel your recovery!

You should let personal preference dictate this decision.

i eat before my workout get more out of it, tired and ends earlier otherwise. try it both ways and see if that holds true for you. afternoon workouts i've already eaten during the day so i go for it in any condition, then eat immediately after. the end.

This is what I do too. Split up my food. Yogurt & berries before, toast, peanut butter, fruit spread & herbal tea after. Mmm, nice and satisfied

It's good to get in carbs an hour or so before your workout, and protein + complex carbs within 30-90 mins of finishing. The carbs first give your body energy so that you can maximize performance, meaning you'll get better results. The protein and carbs afterwards help your muscles repair and maximize gains (or fat loss...). If you workout in the morning, it's a good idea to get those pre-workout carbs because your body has gone hours without glycogen. It's always best to get these nutrients from foods that are least processed, and lower in sugar. Higher sugar is ok before your workout (i.e. bananas), but a good post workout meal would be something like chicken breast and brown rice. OR sweet potatoes and lean meat, quinoa and lean meat... I think you get the point.

Generally I try to eat a little before my workout, even if it's just a bit of peanut butter and half a banana. But I workout before supper and when I eat it's at least 45 mins before, so in your situation it's a bit different.
