Excercise before or after dinner?

I work third shift hours and exercise in the morning, which is technically right before bed for me. I don't have much time for anything else, and that's what works for me.

I think it is definitely going to vary per person, but there is one thing we will all have in common. We lose weight when we do the exercise at times that is most convenient for us. If we try to do exercise at times when we don't really want to, then we are more apt to just dog the workout and not burn as many calories.

i'm not sure! I TRY to do it in the morning, so it's a case of before or after breakfast for me! Sometimes i HAVE to eat first and wait a while as i wake up with a rumbly tummy! However, i then still feel a bit slugish even after waiting for my food to go down, sometimes feel ill and less motivated!
However, if i do it before food (if i can) i can get through it until the end or near the end where a feel a bit ill and hungry- i can't win!! haha

I don't think it really matters. Exercise does curb appetite but I didn't have enough energy during the day yesterday but after a late night protein rich meal (about 10pm) I had the energy to start working out at midnight and I killed it

the only difference it makes is if you eat first you'd have more immediate energy but you'd have the food you just ate still in your body if you ate immediately b4 the training so you may feel bloated or could feel sick, eat atleast 1-2 hrs b4 training is the best bet to give time for the body to digest. If you don't eat first you will probably have less energy possibly feel light headed with lower blood sugar levels and you'd also have to deal with possible hunger pains which is uncomfortable if not annoying.

either way this whole eat on an empty stomach is purely upto you, i use to do it when i was doing Karate 7 days a week i couldn't stomach eating breakfast or within a few hrs b4 so i'd train with nothing more then water coming in then eat big afterwards.

now i goto the gym 6 days a week, 2 days of that is in the mornings 4 days after work I eat breakfast without fail either way and only eat a small snack afterwards til the next meal. During the M-F trainings i have a protein shake and maybe some fruit or nuts on the way from work to the gym just to put something in the stomach.

BUMP

Well I try to do it through out they day. On a really good day, I get to walk in the am, run in place or do some aerobics around lunch time and do a mile run and walk in the evening. But usually I just end up exercising in the house and running in the evening since I have the kids with me. 2&3, they are a workout in themselves.

I'm the same way. If I workout within an hour or so after eating, I get a horrible stitch after 5-10 minutes and can't continue. There are proponents of Intermittent Fasting who recommend exercising in the morning before eating anything because burning calories in a fasted state may burn more fat than in a non-fasted state. I don't know the exact science behind it without doing more research, but I do know that I feel more energetic personally if I workout on an empty stomach.
