is it better to eat before or after you exercise?
When to eat. Generally, food eaten before exercise is better tolerated before an easier work out. Or in types of exercise where the body is supported, such as cycling, compared to running or swimming where thereâs considerable motion of the stomach and contents. So unless you accustomed to it, itâs probably best not to eat before running or swimming. Or when you intend to exercise quite hard. One of the reasons why we eat before exercise is to provide fuel for the muscles.
