-- Posted by relentless26 at 6:36 pm on July 2, 2009 I heard that its better not to eat after you exercise. Is this true? or does it have to do with the fact I exercise kinda late?...I've been wondering because I'm really trying to tone up. I'll take any advice anybody can give me. -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 at 6:37 pm on July 2, 2009 I've heard the opposite. That it's better to eat afterwards. When I exercise I don't usually eat straight after..I seem to get less hungry. It's strange. -- Posted by Descartes at 6:42 pm on July 2, 2009 I eat directly after working out. Thats when your body needs it the most. Within 15 minutes of excercising. -- Posted by FitnessFanatic001 at 7:00 pm on July 2, 2009 Incorrect. After a work-out you should eat some protein, eg. Tuna. However, for waight loss it's better to go for a run before you have breakfast in the morning as it helps burn twice as many caliores.
