What Time Do You Eat Your Meals???

[stellar_stina]

I'm a little confused, today marks day 1 of induction for me. I am doing 3 meals a day... I'm just not sure when to eat them..

I work 8-5. and then usually after work i go to the gym and am there till about 7:00. I'm wondering.. should I eat my dinner BEFORE i go to the gym, or after?

I'm always told you should workout on a fairly empty stomache so you burn more stored fat.... I'm just scared that if I eat after the gym, it will be too late in the day to be eating...

what time a day do you all eat your meals?

Well, It's important that you dont go more than 6 hours without eating. Personally, I have breakfast at 7:00, lunch between 12 and 2 pm, and dinner when I get home from work. Last night I got home from work at 9, but I had a couple hard boiled eggs between lunch and dinner to hold me over. If waiting til after your workout to have dinner means going too long without a meal, then have a snack or mini meal 2 hours before you go to the gym. You don't have to have a big meal for dinner. Just eat til you're satisfied.

LOL, I hope that made sense.

BTW, how do you work out in the evening and sleep at night? If I work out in the evening, I'm so wound up, I'll stay up til 5 am.

I cannot exercise or work out with any food in my stomach, so I do it first thing in the morning. But in the times I have done it at night, it has relaxed me and helped me sleep like a baby later. However, doing my routine in the morning has me pumped for the entire day, so go figure! Exercise (at least for me) seems to be like tofu: it does what you want it to!
