you know what, the truth is it doesn't really matter. eating before or after gives you advantages either way. if you eat before you run, you won't get light-headed and you'll have more energy, but if you run before you eat, your metabolism is faster, what you eat will be digested faster, and you will loose fat. i am doing it BEFORE i eat.

OMG, I can't believe the fasted cardio debate is still clinging to life....
You're training for a sport, and you're trying to build muscle. Have a preworkout meal about an hour before you workout....why would you NOT allow yourself proper nutrition because you are working out in the morning?!?! I'd recommend having a scoop of whey and 1/2 a cup of oats. You're doing sprints, right?! I also sprint with the goal of consistently increasing my speed, and I know my sprints would suck without proper nutrition.
You should ALSO eat a normal postworkout shake, consistenting of whey and dextrose."Every woman should have four pets in her life: a mink in her closet; a jaguar in
her garage; a tiger in her bed; and a jackass who pays for everything." ~Paris Hilton~

He should eat his breakfast, or in this case, his post, postworkout meal, 1 hour after his postworkout shake.Originally Posted by Skyles

You should eat something before you workout. I did this ebfore and I almost passed out and felt nautios because I had nothing in my body. So I just had some fruit on my way to the gym(or a little beforeA) and then a shake and more friut after. I honestly have to eat in the morning or I get sick, but thats just me.
