Eating after the morning cardio...
-
Thursday, June 22, 2006 9:09 AM
Ok, i don't eat before i workout and then cardio in the mornings. I know this is bad but im more worried about losing weight than gaining strength. I only drink some water during workign out and after running. Now the reason to not eat before running is because it makes your body burn through the fat in your body instead of food calories. Now, after cardio, you are still burning calories for a little while, right? So, how long after cardio should i wait before i eat breakfast?

The idea behind starved cardio in the morning, is to tap into your fat stores rather than burning carbs that you've just eaten. It's actually probably a good idea to have a protein rich breakfast (eggs w/cheese, ham (whatever but no carbs) so that you have something in you stomach, but no carbs. If your working out before your cardio it would probably be a really good idea to eat something. Post cardio/workout you should follow the PWO nutrition info that danmirage has posted all over the place.
I hope this helps,
Nick

It depends if you google this some sites just claim this is a myth. Being on an empty stomach doesn't burn less/more. Infact if you don't eat or drink something you feel weaker and probably can't give a 100%.

I am not sure what you do want to see. Do you want to gain muscle, lose fat, get stronger...why train in a fasting state?
So, how long after cardio should i wait before i eat breakfast?
When the core temp has come down to near normal. Usually after 20-30 minutes out to 45 minutes. You are burning muscle and some fat...
