When Should I Eat?
Most recommendations say to eat two or three hours
before exercising: eating just before working out can upset
your stomach, giving you cramps or vomiting.
Obviously, if
you pig out at a giant buffet, it’s going to take longer for
your body to digest the food than if you have a cheese
sandwich and an apple.
High-fat meals are rough on the digestion: avoid fried foods or heavy
cream sauces, and skip the ice cream.
Being aware of what you eat, when you eat
and how much you eat can help you decide the best times for your exercise. Also,
after a workout, it’s best to wait thirty minutes before your next meal.
Everyone is different: you may discover that you need a snack
