Asked by: jojoblue77 from -
I run on my treadmill and use my eliptical every night. I usually do it after I eat but then I'm hungry again after my work out so would be it be bad if I did it before i eat?

If you work out at night, and you get hungry, that's the time for your protein shake! Skim milk, a banana, protein powder, yogurt, peanut butter - throw it all in a blender and enjoy! (You can add brewer's yeast, whey powder, wheat germ as alternatives).

Whether you eat before or after exercising won't affect the number of calories you burn, but having breakfast first might give you more energy and endurance. Some people prefer to just drink a glass of juice or perhaps have a piece of toast or yogurt -- something quick and easy to digest. If you choose toast, avoid high-fat toppings such as butter or cream cheese (use a little jam or jelly, or a thin spread of peanut butter). If you eat this 30 to 45 minutes before your class starts, you should be fine. Be sure to drink...
