How long should I wait after I eat to work out?

If you are planning on doing light exercise you should wait AT LEAST 60 minutes after a large meal. Ideally, if you are doing an intense exercise it might be wiser to wait 2-3 hours after a large carb and protein dense meal before you exercise. You may even want to wait up to 2 hours after eating a large meal.

2 hours after unless your training at a pro Boxing gym and then they tell me eat 3 hours before coming here at least or your going to puke it up because of all the hard work non stop put into it

Depends on how heavy the meal you had was. ...
on average, a regular meal would need to wait 2 hours... a little less if it's light meals..

It depends on how much you eat and how intense the workout is. If it's cardio you'll have to wait longer. If it's a high intensity cardio even longer. If it was a large amount of food (it filled you up) EVEN longer. For something like that I'd say a good 2-3 hours. However, if it's simply just a really small snack to curb an empty hunger than a good 30 minute wait should do the job.

It depends on what you ate. I'd say anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the kind of food portion size. If you exercise too early, it can cause cramping or even evacuation of stomach contents (vomiting).

I normally wait about 30 minutes to an hour, give or take. However, if you're hungry, you can eat right away. There's really no right or wrong way to approach this.

Just however you feel, it doesn't have to be that scientific. Just go work out
