A member asked:
Should you eat before or after exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'd say after.: For cardio, exercising in the AM before breakfast will burn fat stores for energy rather than just using calories from food you've eaten. For weights, eating a healthy mixed meal afterwards helps replenish the carbohydrate stores and deposit protein into the muscles for building.
