It seems like a stupid question but what's the best thing to do when you're trying to lose weight.
Eat before you work out or after? (obviously not right before or right after)
It's just a couple of people have told me eating before will give me energy and that eating after will just bring back the calories and other people have told me eating after is better because before you already have the energy from your previous meals of the day and if you eat after you'll get all the sugar, protein, etc. back that you lost during sweating.
So, who's right?

drink gatoraide and eat something healthy that will give you energy before you work out ]
It does not matter when you eat. I have taken many courses in nutrition. It is overall calorie intake and overall calorie burning. If you eat more calories than you burn each day you will gain weight. if you burn more calories that you take in each day, you will loose weight. Wether or not you eat before you work out is a personal preference. Some people cannot work out if they are hungry, others cannot work out after they have just eaten. Read labels and see what your calorie intake is. Many foods fool you into thinking they are healthy and low in calories when in fact they are not. I hope this helps

haha none of them, i am. do both. 5 meals/day speeds up your metabolism, causing you to burn more fat. my wrestling diet is cereal breakfast and supper is green beans, a salad, and some skinless chicken, with occassionally swapping a tuna fish sandwich in for the chicken. now by no means should you go to that extreme, but that is the lose weight fast diet. if you can make your diet consist of mainly what i listed, go you. but yeah the main point is eat a lot of small meals and don't snack. and NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST, it's horrible for your metabolism speed.
i know you love my advice and stuff but i'd like to hear it and have you rate me well and stuff. kthx <3. ]
You should eat before and after -- Because before will give you energy and after you need something because your body is still going...and if you dont itll feed off itself and next time you eat itll store in your body -- Eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, follow the food group..and eat healthy as you exercise to lose weight as well, just dont get too over obsessed with it because then it could turn into a problem, and make sure you set a weight goal..and dont just randomly say i wanna lose weight -- Keep this thought in mind its not how much you weight, its what your body looks like...and if it looks good KEEP IT! good luck! <3 ]
