Depends on what kind of exercise you will be doing.  My reccomendation is that if you plan on doing ANY running, DO NOT eat within two hours before you go.\nIf you're planning on just doing lifting or aerobics or stuff like that though, eat a Powerbar before or after with 8 oz of water.\nYou can eat whatever you want after, that's all on your eating habits and weight loss/gain goals.\nMake sure to stay hydrated though!

Your reading should not exceed 100 two hours after eating. If you are diabetic than a good controlled reading is more like 120. Anything over 150 causes damage to the eyes and other organs. If your reading is over 110 everytime you test see a doctor immed. Remember test at least two hours after eating (or before you eat again) to get a good controlled reading. If you are having issues with your sugar have your doctor check it out. If you are diagnosed as diabetic ask to take classes. These will teach you the how to's about the disorder like eating (what to and not to).

whatever works best for you.  you exercise when you can.  exercise at any time is better than no exercise at all.\n\nand actually, according to 24 hour fitness, late afternoon is when your body temperature is at it's peak.  That means "muscles are warm and more flexible, perceived exertion is low, reaction time is quicker, strength is at its peak, and resting heart rate and blood pressure are low."

You must eat after working out, and it all depends what your going for. I'm guessing your working out to stay in shape or lose weight.  So for this reason I suggest you eat a light meal high in protein and medium to low in carbohydrates.  Your body is trying to recover what you just put it threw and if it doesn't have the right nutrients to heal properly then you are wasting your time or hurting yourself.  Eat about 45 minutes after you workout, take a hot shower to relax your muscles and let the blood flow throughout the body.  Eating to quickly after a work out and all the blood that is flowing and feeding your muscles will go to digest the food.  Lean meats. canned tuna, a piece of fruit, protein shake, broccoli, one of the best dishes to eat after a work out is chicken broccoli and pasta dish it has alot of power pack nutrients for the muscle.

Usually it is best to eat afterwards, as exercising on an empty stomach will increase the amount of fat you burn while exercising. This is due to the fact that if your stomach is empty you will not be replenishing the glucose in your blood from food. Also as you will not be devoting energy to digestion, you will have more for the exercise you are performing.

The recommended amount to ensure a healthy heart and body is to take 30 minutes of moderate exercise 4 to 7 days a week. As long as the exercise raises your heart rate, makes you sweat and doesn't prevent you from being able to conduct a slightly out of breath conversation (if you can't talk, it's too much) it doesn't matter what it is - it could be ballroom dancing, walking, gardening, running, swimming - anything.  Don't forget that resting is also necessary as exercise "breaks" muscle fibres which then "heal" to form stronger, thicker muscles (this is normal).  Resting allows the body to heal itself.

Try to eat a meal every 3 to 4 hours.  Focus on the protein content, for example fish or meat in each.

Well the best time is first thing in the morning without eating.after your workout eat eggs , tomatoes, porridge and anything with protein( not fat stuff)\nIf you have eaten before you exercise then 2 -3 hours.\nI read this and applied it  and it works fabulously. I feel great all the time I dont get tired and research shows that if you exercise in the morning you will keep with it. Evening exercisers often stop.\n\nGo and take a look at http://fit-n-fat.blogspot.com  these guys are fun and there recommendatons work.\nTake care

The best way to lose weight is through good diet and regular exercise. Doing good cardio exercise like jogging or anything that will get up your heartrate and keep it up promotes a higher metabolism. If you can keep your metabolism high, you will burn calories faster. Eating healthy meals within 30 minutes after exercising will also help to burn off the calories from the food you eat. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables when you get hungry between meals. They have things in them that help with weight loss also.

Exercise and diet.\nFor diet see a below one week diet.\nDo not know your schedule, but try this for exercise: first thing in the am, 30-45 mins of moderate. (elipitcal or rowing) go for a 10 min walk at mid morning. Run at lunch (Harder 30 mins) 10 min walk mid afternoon. 30-45 min moderate at around 5pm. And if you can, something around the time you go to bed. \nAlso, do not eat after 6pm, and go to bed early (No later than 9pm)

Depends on how fast you want to go and what you eat.\n\nFor instance \nMexican food -- Burning sensation, possible splatter, bowel movement with in 18hrs. I suggest either taking a shower afterward or using baby wipes, you don't want to streak.

First of all, your muscles do not grow while you exercise. They grow after the exercise is over, while they are recovering. This is why rest is very important. You should not exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. Give them at least 48 hours to recover, more if you work them harder.\n\nIf you go over an hour, you start to enter a catabolic phase. This doesn't mean you will lose everything you would have gained, but you maximize your gains by keeping your workout under 1 hour.

I have heard that the best thing to do is eat an hour before you plan to exercise.

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.

You should eat a complex carb snack an hour before a workout and protein 30 minutes after a workout.
