When should I eat, pre or post workout?

When should I eat pre or post workout is a great question.

It really gets down to what your goals are. If you have a intense workout planned or a session with your personal trainer, you’ ll want to fuel your body for the session either 3 to 4 hours before exercise. If your goal is weight loss you will want to eat a meal after the session as you will tap into your fat stores faster on a empty stomach. However you still will need to eat something light, like a banana or a Protein shake otherwise you could get lightheaded or nauseous.

If you exercise early in the morning make sure you drink at least 2 glasses of water before to hydrate your body after a nights sleep.
