You might want to eat something small (like a bar small, or a piece of fruit) no less than 45 minutes prior to going to the gym, your body needs energy, but when you are exercising very little blood is going to your digestive system, which can cause nausea or vomiting if there is a lot of food in your stomach.

Not unless you REALLY have too, makes it harder to burn fat because you start burning carbs consumed first. You should however eat a small portion of something healthy after you exercise ( a protein), your body will burn that up real fast and give you energy. The easiest thing to do is set a specific eating time every day. If you eat I say let it be like an hour or so before you exercise.

the best thing u can do for working out is eat a little protein before and after workout..esp afterwards.
after working out...your body needs protein..if it doesn't have protein then your body attacks the muscle rather than the fat...and of course we need it to be the other way around

eat something for energy, or maybe even just a protein shake, and save lunch for after♥

It is great to consume earlier than going to the fitness center, however ensure it is atleast two hours forward. If you get hungry earlier than you get to the fitness center drink water, it fills you up and consuming water can broaden your metabolism through three%.

your stomach should be empty when u go to gym. Atleast one hour or one and half hour gap before and after excercise.
