Eating and exercise???

spectrachic311 said: "I don't eat right after I run (first thing in the morning) because I'm just not that hungry right then. I wait until I'm really hungry before I eat breakfast and I always plan what I'm going to eat so I don't overdo it. There's no real rule as to when you have to eat...as long as you eat fewer calories than you expend, you'll lose weight."

I am not hungry but it made me thik, when are you supposed to eat when you are exercising? I have heard an hour before you exercise or an hour after, I have heard 30 minutes after, and I have heard right after exercise becasue your metabolism is faster? So what do you guys do?"

lakelady said: "A good , heart rate raising bike ride increases your metabolic rate for 24 hours, so I agree with Doc. Eat when you're hungry, and eat slowly and watch the cals. Don't let your sense of accomplishment over the exercise lead you to over eat!!! That's a big stumbling block for lots of people...the I-deserve-this-for-working-so-hard attitude."

DrCOOL959 said: "I only eat if I am hungry, and control portions by monitoring calories. Sort of like a computer program really. I don't do the scheduled eating after or before exercise. If (calories > 0) & (hunger = 1) then (get banana) =)"

Usually I will eat a vitamin/nutrition bar (but low in calories, they are called LUNA bars and specially designed for active women) at 4:00pm this gives me enough energy to get through my work-out and not be STARVING at the end of it. Then I have time to properly prepare my home-cooked dinner without munching on 1/2 the kitchen beforehand. Before I started eating the bars everyday I would snack while cooking dinner, thus eating myself full of snacks and not nutritous dinner foods. :) you'll find what works for you."
