Personally, I eat before and after exercising. I eat a very light meal before exercising. I need it because I feel nauseous if I don't. I eat the rest of my breakfast after exercising.
Do you eat before or after exercising?

When I used to go to the gym, and when I ride my bike now, I usully eat a good meal about 1 hour - 1.5 hours before I excersize. If I excersize on a nearly empty stomach I will get dizzy, if I excersize on too full of one, I will get a sick tummy.

Same here. Bout two hours before the gym, a light meal of carbs and protein (usually a low fat cheese stick with some carrots), afterwards, I'll thrown down a protein shake and try to get in some carbs, the carbs don't always come. But it's so close to dinner time I don't think it hurts in the long run.

I usually eat a banana abt an hour before they gym (unless I've had a large meal and im not hungry). I try to eat pretty soon after as I am usually really hungry! Hoever, if i eat too soon before i work out i feel really sick and sluggish.

Before going to the gym i used to eat some thing before.May be it could be of a very small quantity of food.I think it could be harmful to us of making exercise without eating anything.

I try to eat before I get to the gym but it doesn't always happen. I have to kind of time it just right. I do notice when I eat something nice and wholesome before my workouts (i.e. whole grain bagel with cream cheese, or cereal with skim milk, banana) I can usually last longer and feel better after my workouts...

If I am walking to work I leave my breakfast until after I get there, but if I am doing intense cardio or weights I always eat, or else I dont have any energy.
