Running or general

Whatever works for you. I like to run fasted or I tend to get nauseated. Other people can eat a meal and head out with no issues. There is no right way to do it.

When i first started, i always tried to eat something first because i read so much that if you don't eat first, you won't have enough energy to keep going. I always ate something small.....maybe half a banana....or a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter on it. More recently though, i started just getting dressed and going out. My belly sometimes feels hungry mid run....but it makes breakfast so much yummier when I do eat it I don't get nauseated either on an empty stomach when i get overheated and sweaty.

You should try both ways and see which works best for you.

I can run just fine before eating, but make sure you stay hydrated.

It really does depend on how you feel so try a few different ways and see what works best. Some people need to eat or their blood sugar drops and they can't make it through but some people exercise fasted with no issues at all. I've done the whole range depending on my energy level and hunger. Just be conscious of what your body is telling you and be careful.

Also, I've noticed that hydration is just as important as eating - if you're dehydrated it can adversely affect your energy level.

What works for you I run at my lunch hour so I eat about 1 hour before becouse I am hungry. When I run first thing in the morning I do not eat becouse I am not hungry.

This is the same for me. People always say it's not good to go out on an empty stomach, but mine seriously has to be empty or I'll feel/get sick. I usually run first thing in the morning to avoid this, but if I go after work, I can't have any food within about 2.5-3 hours before my run or any water within about 1.5 hours before my run. Keep in mind though, this is what works for me, not necessarily what's best for anyone else. The best is to find what works for you.

Try something small like a banana about an hour before working out. If you can do it, then try to make sure you do it every time. If it makes you sick, try going out first and eating after.

You can try it both ways, but I would generally avoid high fat or foods with a high fiber content before you run.

I hardly ever run in the morning but when I do, I do so on an empty stomach. Otherwise, I'll cramp up. In the evenings, I will usually wait about and hour after eating my last meal.

Just make sure you are well hydrated the night before. I have run on an empty stomach many times because I don't have the luxury of getting up an hour before my run and having breakfast (which would be 3:30 a.m.) and still making it to work. I do however, prefer to have a few sips of chocolate or skim milk (1/4-1/2 cup or so), or a half of stick of string cheese or maybe a few nuts. Just even a "little" something makes a huge difference for me and keeps me from getting dizzy.

Typically I'm out the door first thing in the morning and I prefer to run anything less than 90 minutes fasted. Eating right before a run (or even an hour or so before) has little impact on the fuel that's actually available for the run, especially if you're running half an hour to an hour. Like hydration it's what you eat the day before that has the bigger impact.
