    Downing some BCAA's usually helps maintain muscle mass. Or exercise at night.

    I usually eat, relax for an hour or so, then work out. I cannot do it immediately after eating, makes me feel so sick!

    Try working out fasted (pre-breakfast)! It's arguably better for fat loss, and you definitely won't have any issues with indigestion. (When I start cardio on fast days I'm usually a little sluggish getting into my workout, but after the first 10 minutes or so I'm back to nearly 100%.)

    I threw up after eating then exercising. My solution? wait at least 2 hrs or go on a empty stomach.

    THanks everyone!!!!! I have been exercising in the morning on an empty stomach and it works fine for the exercise - really it works well for me exercise-wise. I have been worrying because I have not been having a lot of weightloss - and everywhere says you have to start a day with breakfast. That doesn't work for me with the exercise .... so I am trying to figure this out.

    But it sounds as if some of you are eating after exercise so then I will just continue with that.

    THANKS!!!! Hugs - Dia

    thats a myth. I eat all my calories from 3:30pm-11:30pm. Having breakfast isnt necessary.

    I can't eat and then go workout unless there is like 3 hours gap in between. I would get so sick, and it really can make you throw up especially if your body is actively digesting the food. I actually prefer to work out in the AM with an empty stomach.

    There is no reason to eat immediately before working out unless you're slamming protein for heavy lifting
