I was just wondering if it is better to eat dinner before or after working out. My husband and I are currently stationed in Italy and it is really hot and the gym that we go to has no air conditioning so we have to wait to go to the gym until about 7 or 8 pm and then we usually don't eat dinner until about 9 or 10 pm. I was just wondering if we should start eating before going to the gym.

You definitely have to eat after the gym!
It would be good to eat a snack before hitting the weights too."Strive for perfection,

What I used to do in a case similar to that is have a light supper around 6....work out, then have a protein source before bed. Personally, that worked the best for me. I hated going to bed with a stomach full of supper/calories and having to sleep...

Ideally you should eat every 3 hours minimum, so having said that, both.
