Do you exercise on empty stomach?

I eat about an hour before I work out (something with protein) and a banana after I'm done0

Yes. I have to, otherwise I'll pass out.0

I just have a small snack if I'm working out in the morning. Usually when I wake up my stomach is growling.( I like that feeling :bigsmile:) Then I have a meal after.
If my workout is later in the day I try to wait a couple of hours to let my meal settle. I agree that it has to be with what you're comfortable with.0 -
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.0

I cannot eat right before I work out or I will want to get sick and feel more sluggish. I work out at night, so I try not to eat 30 minutes to an hour prior then eat dinner afterwards.0

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.0

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.0

I do not eat before early morning workouts. But I do drink a little water. The only time I eat a little before exercise is when I go to the gym at 8:15 am on Saturdays.0

Only when I haven't eaten.0

I have one of my protein bars (home made -totally awesome) pre-workout for fuel. Post workout I make a protein shake when I get home.0

I'd say it depends on what time of day you are working out. If I wake up and workout first thing in the morning, I don't feel like I need any food that early before I workout. But if I work out in the afternoon or evening and I haven't eaten in a while I will get very shaky/dizzy and my workout won't be very productive.0

If I am exercising in the morning it is on an empty stomach. When I work out later in the day it is about an hour or so after I've eaten.0

i prefer to workout before i eat but it does not always work that way... easy if i do tho0

I have to eat before working out. Otherwise I am running on an empty tank and I have absolutely no energy. I find I slack a lot more during workout when I don't eat, or when I only eat something small. I get so tired and want to give up.
I always eat something high carb about 1-2 hours before working out. Do not eat a large meal and then work out right away because you won't digest properly, you'll feel sick, and you'll get horrible cramps. Always wait 1-3 hours for large meals.0 -
I almost always exercise on an empty stomach. I workout early in the morning. I take thyroid meds which must be taken on an empty stomach and then workout.
Once in a while I workout at night.0 -
Is it good or bad to exercise on empty stomach? for example i wake up, take my fat burners, water and workout. then eat afterwards. should i eat first or it dont matter?
Is it good to work out on an empty stomach not really, but some cannot work out on a full stomach for they feel sick when they do. Others can go work out on an empty stomach. If you eat before you get that extra push from it; it fuels energy to the body. Really it comes down to the individual person and how their body can handle it.0
