Why is it better to eat a salad before a meal instead of after?

Salads fill you up and are healthy, therefore you won't eat as much of the main course. Usually, if you eat the salad after dinner, it's to cleanse your palate.

Quick and easy.  The protein is usually pre-digested so when you take it in liquid form, the body can readily absorb it.  A lot easier on the stomach for equivalent protein compared to eating a piece of meat, especially around bedtime.

After.\n\nWhen you eat before, more blood will be directed to your intestant, less will be available to supply your muscles with energy and your brain will get even less oxygen than in the workout situation in the first place.

for the breakfast take honey or dates first then what ever you like tea or coffee should be taken after 2 hours, one of the other 2 meals  preferred to be fresh fruits, the other will be grilled fish  or sea fruits may be a bird with much vegetable salad and little bread.  dinner is 2hours before bed time.less cooking steps more healthy food.

you might have eaten a little while before you started jogging. i got the same problem. you should wait at least a half an hour after you eat before you start jogging. also, if you jog kinda fast, start out slow first, then build up speed to what you usually jog at.

working out before dinner is a good choice.  you will increase your metabolism, causing a decrease in calories absorbed by your body.  You will actually be LESS hungry after the workout, and you will not get as many calories from your dinner.

It is great that you want to eat a salad instead of pizza, but you need to put some lean protein on it and don't use a fattening salad dressing. Also, for dinner try eating another type of lean protein, instead of a chicken patty (which is not even close to chicken), eat a grilled chicken breast...there are many ways to season it so that you have variety. For dessert try eating fruit and if you have to have cake try a small slice of Angel Food cake with the fresh fruit. Drink water...no more sodas unless they are diet and try to limit those. As far as exercise, make sure you do some walking or running if you feel that you can at least 5 times a week...you can build up to how far you want to walk/run...start with a mile and build up from there. Just remember that it takes time to lose weight and it is not going to be easy, but the benefits are GREAT!! Good luck to you and DON'T GIVE UP, you will add years to your life!

How many hours or minutes you should eat before exercising depends on each individual. I wait 30 to 50 minutes after eating before I exercise, but your body may not be able to wait 60 minutes. Listen to your body. If you feel sick after waiting 30 minutes, wait longer. If you feel like you don't have enough energy after waiting 60 minutes, exercise sooner.\n\nAs for after exercising, I've always heard that it's best to eat something 30 minutes to an hour after hydrating. However, just like eating before exercising, it probably depends on the person.

well, i would suggest buying them first. then, when its snack time, instead of grabbing that bag of chips, cut up a cucumber, or make yourself a small salad. you dont have to eat all your veggys at mealtimes. just spread them out throughout the day.

good question, my dad always used to tell me this, here's what happens eating right before sleep causes you to fall into deep sleep very quickly, but here's what happens becuase are asleep so soon after eating, your body has no time to digest the food until you are at a Stage 1 sleeping state, right before you wake up. the dreams you remember all occur in stage one, you essentially ahve hundreds of dreams a night but the only ones htat you remember and see vividly occur at stage one. Stage one therefore is prolonged when eating right before because your body wants to digest while you are resting and it has a lot of food to digest because it hadnt had a chance to digest it earlier

Depends on what you are doing?\nCardio in the morning before eating anything, if your trying to save your muscle have a protein shake before your cardio. Weight training in the late afternoon/early evening.

It is not good for you to drink during your meal... Better drink 30 minutes before having your meal & 30 minutes after having your meal... I'm serious, ask any doctor about this, you shouldn't drink during a meal. Before is fine, after is fine, but not in between bites...\n\nI'm not quite sure why we shouldn't drink during a meal, all I know is that 1 of the reason why it's hard to have a flat tummy (eventhough you do lots of sit ups) is because you drink during your meal... Seriously, I'm not kidding...

Vegetables are a very high source of energy. If you eat them and do not use that energy, then it's just sitting in your body. Your body has to do something with it, so it makes it into a gas and of course, that gas makes it's way out of your body. So, if you are going to eat broccoli, I suggest you go for a quick run.   :)

no, maybe a little snack an hour or so before working out. Eating right before a workout is not good because your body won't be as quick, or strong due to the digestion process happening.
