Breakfast...before or after exercise...??

grab a banana or other fruit before then finish after. It works for me:drinker:

I was reading last week while browsing different sites about weight loss - where someone called the "fitness jerk" said to get up, don't eat, don't brush your teeth, just get a COLD glass of water and get to it.
Supposedly the COLD water starts the metabolism, as does the workout, and your body will be an "inferno" for the rest of the day (granted you are fueling it with healthy foods, set frequently every 3 hours or so)
I did that the very next morning - I got up, got my cold glass of ice water and got on my resistance fan stationary bike for 20 mins.
Ate breakfast soon after -
What I can say is I then came to work, and I was HUNGRY every 2-3 hours. Ate well, and had a great day. Can tell that metabolism was revved up, much more so than today, when I got up and had coffee and waited too long to have breakfast. (about an hour and a half - too long- they say you should eat within 1 hour of waking)
Breakfast = Breaking the Fast
Hope that helps!

I just posted an article and this is what it said:
Exercising on an Empty Stomach
"It's physiologically impossible to burn pure body fat - during aerobic exercise you burn a combo of carbs and fat. When carbs aren't readily available, your body is forced to break down its own muscle mass and convert it into blood sugar. That means by skipping, you may end up eating away at your own muscle instead of building it!
The Fix: If you don’t like the feeling of food in your stomach when you exercise stick with a liquid, like a small smoothie made with unsweetened frozen fruit and organic skim or soy milk. "

As someone previously said, I'd grab a banana or something small before, it should give you a bit more energy for your workouts and a little substance there so you're not exercising completely on an empty stomach

I do not like bfast but I believe in first hydrating with cold water bc you need to be hydrated after no fluids while you sleep. Then I make a,smoothie with nestle carnation instant bfast sugar free milk and a banana before working out. Then I eat 30min or so after my workout. This works great for me.

I personally need to eat breakfast before I exercise. If I don't, I find myself with a massive lack of energy. I also tend to get dizzy while I work out. My daily routine is wake up at 7am, drink a glass of green tea, eat breakfast between 8-8:30 then get my workout going around 9am. Everyone is different though.

I've read lots of conflicting reports on this, some say you should exercise on an empty stomach and some say you shouldn't. I've also heard you're supposed to eat at least a little something within the first hour after you wake up or your metabolism will slow down. I usually eat something small (between 100-150 calories) in the morning then walk my kids to school and then come home and workout. After that I have a mid-morning, late breakfast.

You need something in your belly, before exercising. Other wise you will wear out fast. Need to keep your protein, so that it gives you energy, and helps burn fat.

Something else you have to keep in mind too is that you're almost always going to burn SOME muscle -- you can't just burn pure fat. That's why strength training is so important, to counteract some of that effect and help you keep your muscle tone. It's not something to freak out and worry about, it's just something to be aware of.
