Is it better to eat before exercising or after?

It's best to eat a bit of carbs before exercising and best to eat it 1-2 hour before so I have been told by my fitness instructor. I once exercised on an empty stomach and almost fainted. I find if I have milk (eg cereal) then I need more than an hour before I exercise or I have moments where the milk comes back up a bit - yuk - but toast or fruit or even yoghurt is fine 1 hour before. Less than an hour can also cause me to feel like throwing up. But I guess it depends on the exercise - I found burpees to be the worst.

I can't wake up 2 hours earlier than I already do. :p but thank you.

1 hour would be fine - I usually get up one and a quarter hour beforehand and eat first then get ready - I just don't have cereal

I like to eat before exercising because it gives me the energy to do the work out.
I've not eaten a thing before and have felt dizzy during my work out and weak.
Not a good feeling.
Even if you don't eat... at least have a protein shake or nutriment.

I like to eat small before, for energy, and after big for recovery :)

At least 1 or 2 hours before is alright if it's not too heavy.

So, just drink water a few minutes before exercising?

[Opinion Owner]

Drinking water is always good. Especially during excercise. If you dehydrate you get the most awful cramps.

[Asker]

Okay, thank you :)

Before and after.
Eat a banana for energy to exercise.
Then afterwards eat something again for more energy.

Eat carbs 1h to half hour before-depending on amount eaten

After workout, eat protein

After, you will get major cramps otherwise. Eat a banana or something for energy.

I usually eat an hour or so before. Something light. And then I always eat a banana when I'm done.

[PrettyBoyFloyd24]

Yes it's good to eat you need your carbs for energy

it's better drink mineral water then eat before exercise. and eat after an hour later.

I have no idea, but I never eat before exercising, it makes me feel slow and sick easily
