[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how regularly do you workout in a situation where eating bothers you?

If you eat and then work out immediately every day for say 6 months or a year, your body will figure this out.

I'm not saying that is the only solution but it will work.

OP, how fit are you?  If you are fit enough and the workout easy enough it shouldn't bother you even if you just try fitting it in once a week.

If you are constantly fighting a battle of stop and start fitness programs that never really achieve significant fitness, you are going to need to use trial and error to see which foods and which time schedule work best.

If you need to do the trial and error method, cut back on workout difficulty and increase workout frequency while you figure it out.[/quote]

I work out 5-6 days a week, usually 2-3 in that same class at the gym and 2-3 runs.  I’ve been going to the gym for about a year and a half and added in the running this past summer.

I prefer early morning workouts, and I’m fine on an empty stomach if I just wake up and go. But if I wait more than an hour or so, I get wobbly during the workout if I don’t eat.  And if I eat too close to the workout, it doesn’t sit well.

For the next few weeks, I can’t manage the early morning gym class, so I’m trying to figure out a way to make it work. I could just run early and skip the gym, but I feel like I lose strength really quickly if I don’t go at least twice a week.

Maybe the smoothie was too much sugar?  I’ll try the ww bread with peanut butter next time and see how that goes. [/quote]
