Do you exercise on empty stomach?

Dr. Oz says to workout before you eat. For a while I thought I got queasy if I didn't eat first. I've figured out that I only get queasy if I don't drink water and get hydrated before I exercise.

I am at the gym by 0500 so I do it on an empty stomach. If I do something later in the day, I try to make sure it has been a while since I ate. I get sick to my stomach if I workout with food in the belly!

if I eat before working out, I get indigested/sick.

I lift most days. I get a solid meal in first or I'm just begging for a bad day. I think everyone's different but I try to eat something with good carbs and proteins within about 1 hour of when I'm going to workout.

I can't workout on a full stomach.

I never workout on an empty stomach if I can help it. A small meal up to 30-60 minutes before my workout is what I like to do.

No idea if there are any actual benefits versus an empty stomach, but it lets me feel like I'm ready to push myself and work hard because I know I have some gas in the tank

I don't work out right after eating, but I don't like working out on an entirely empty stomach. Like on runs first thing in the morning, I always have a bowl of oatmeal about a half hour before I go, because it helps when I'm done. If I'm not hydrated or have a little bit of fuel, after I'm done I get really light-headed and nauseous.

I don't really think it matters

Uh, apparently you missed where Dr. Oz says it DOES matter.

Depends on how empty my stomach is... If I didn't eat much for dinner the night before, my tank is completely empty so I'd have to eat something before working out, even if it's just a protein bar or a banana, otherwise I won't have the energy to give it my all. But if I had a good meal, I'm usually good for a morning workout without food.

I don't have a big meal but I have a little something to eat before I workout - even if it's a piece of fruit or some protein. Definitely have protein afterwards (cheese or I find a banana is good, even 1/2 a Larabar)

I usually hit the gym after work (4:30 - 5:00) so my afternoon snack is usually Greek Yogurt which has lots of protein and fills me up and then I'll have supper about 6:30 or 7:00 when I'm done.

For me most important - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate - I'll drink lots of water before, during and after and depending on my workout maybe even a bit of chocolate milk after to replenish some of what's been lost during my workout.

I eat about an hour before I work out (something with protein) and a banana after I'm done

Yes. I have to, otherwise I'll pass out.

I only have coffee before working out if I go early in the morning. Otherwise, I eat a light meal or snack 1-2 hours before working out. Works for me.

If I'm doing only Cardio, yes empty stomach. When lifting though, your muscles require good fuel to perform. I do a 1/2 scoop protein and a small amount of a good quality carb like 1/2 a banana.

I find that I feel better (wether it's mentally or physically) if I have an apple, banana, string cheese, toast, or some yogurt (something light) before I workout. I think everyone is different so see how you feel! I also try to eat something small right after I workout but that usually takes some 'forcing' because I'm just thirsty, not hungry. In the long-run though, I feel much better so I do it because it works for me.
