Eat breakfast before or after exercise?
«

I want to lose a few pounds so I want to start jogging tomorrow. I'm just a little confused. Should I eat before I jog? or after I jog?
Before, I eat after I jog. I am not so sure if that's right.

Probably better to eat after. Have a big glass o' water before you jog, then jog, then eat. Otherwise your blood is all in your stomach working on digesting breakfast instead of out in your limbs carrying oxygen. Also, supposedly there is a "protein window" of about an hour after exercise when your body is much more able to utilize dietary protein.
Exception: If you wait an hour between breakfast and jogging then you can use all that extra chow as fuel. A relatively light, good-carbohydrate breakfast (like oatmeal with some fresh or dried fruit) is best for this, rather than, say, ham and eggs.
I'm not a nutritionist or anything, just someone who used to work out more than I do now. I'd normally work out between 1-4 hours after eating and eat something high-protein just after getting home from the gym, with good results. Work out too soon after eating and I'd have a rotten time and a tummy ache.

Thank you so much for your reply wburg. I really appreciate it.
I have another question, and I hope you can answer this too. My work schedule is 6pm to 3 am. I am planning to jog before I sleep, maybe 5-6 am. Is this okay? Or a total no-no?

If you can go to sleep right after a workout, go for it.

I haven't tried. But I'll know tonight. I'll jog for an hour and see if I can sleep. Haha. If not, I'll have to exercise inside the house before work.
