Shortly after you wake up in the morning. Eggs have relatively slow protein synthesis, and after you work out you will want something quicker like a protein shake with a good quality protein, at least 20 grams worth.

a protein drink, a piece of fruit, yogurt, piece of cheese. I do a protein drink or a piece of cheese and feel better. Also keep well hydrated with water before during and after exercise

Your legs get shaky after you work out because the microfibers in your legs muscles tear as you are working out (this is necessary in order to build up muscle).\nAs for eating, you should try not to eat right before your workout or you might feel sick. Proteins and carbohydrates like pasta are usually good for energy, if you leave enough time to digest (at least an hour.)\nAs for burning fat, it takes 20 minutes of exercise to start burning. You should set your exercise time at about 20 minutes to start and gradually increase the time from there, by about one or two minutes.(make sure you leave time for your muscles to repair themselves though, or you might get a strained muscle). Working out 3-4 times a week is generally good.\nYou can eat reasonably during the day as well, you should just try to count the calories. Fruits and vegetables are great low calorie foods, but you should make sure your eating foods from every food group. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hey, I run the mile as well. Usually, the night before a meet I eat a light meal, such as pasta, and a salad. Also, I drink ALOT of water. The morning before, a really great breakfast is oatmeal, a bagel with cream cheese, maybe some toast with peanut butter, and a banana. Also, keep on chugging the water, even if you aren't thirsty, it really makes a difference. Depending on the time of your meet, you may want to limit the total amount of food you eat, but remember, the more you eat, the more energy you will have. If you aren't running until the afternoon, feel free to eat as much as want. Just stay away from fatty or salty foods. Water, water, water! Good luck to you!

Well, first, if you exercised hard, definitely take a shower first. However, the most important thing to do after exercising is eating a nutritious snack. I recommend something like a piece of fruit, oatmeal, or a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread. This provides you with post-workout carbs, which are important for your recovery time. Not only is this healthy, it helps you to get ready for tomorrow's workout. Hope this helps.

The most important factor for optimum performance is hydration.  Drink loads of water the day before and the day of the game.  Stop drinking about an hour before the start or you will need the toilet during the game.\n\n3 hours before exercise is the best time to eat.\n\nChicken and pasta is good, just don't eat too much or you will feel lethargic and bloated.\n\nAlso I wouldn't workout the day before, a days rest will leave you feeling fresh.

You actually get better results if you work out in the morning before a big breakfast.  Eat a power bar before you go and bring your water.  You'll notice results fast!

I like this question.. \n\nand I can tell you the less fat you eat the better.. stay away from those steaks, burgers etc.. at least during competiton.. \n\nduring your big meet this is what you do\n\nnight before:\n\ncomplex carbs!! your pastas, breads etc.. they are great sources of energy but they take a while to be broken down, so eat them the night before, and they will give you energy for the morning\n\nmorning: \n\neveryone knows racing with an empty stomach sucks, so make sure you eat breakfast! very important, most swimmers try to wake up just before they have to go warm up to get the most amount of sleep.. but I will tell you that breakfast is way more important. here is what you eat:\nfruit fruit fruit and fruit!! super important.. simple sugars are broken down fast, and by the time your race comes you'll be ready to go.. also eat something that will fill you up, but not too much.. I like pancakes, even though they are complex carbs, they fill me up perfect so Im not hungry when I swim\n\nAfter you swim: its extremely important to eat right after your swim.. you have to replenish your glycogen levels quick! the longer you wait.. the longer it takes to replenish them.. and if you made finals you will need them! eat a fruit or some kind of shake.. GO is the best one out there\n\nYou eat like this, and drink plenty of liquids and you will have the best meet of your life!!!

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's the egg whites that contain the protien that the body builders want.  Usually what they do is they'll boil several eggs and then only a fraction of them they'll eat whole.  The rest they'll only eat the whites.  The egg yokes are good for you but they contain the fat of the egg and are a lot higher in calories than the whites.  Good example is a friend of mine that's a body builder.  Every morning to go with his other stuff he boils 7 eggs, eats 2 of them completly, and then for the other 5 he only eats the whites.

I used to be a personal trainer.  Start working with weights to build muscle.  You don't want to be the HULK but just trust me on this.  Increase protein, wheat bread, some more fats (but good fats).  Try jelly on toast, extra virgin olive oil will be good for you.  Egg whites.  Please don't eat right before you go to bed like the other person told you.  Big breakfast is important.

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.

it's not a good idea to exercise on empty stomach.i would advise that you take a light meal 3-4 hours before a track meet.drinking carbonated drinks before you exercise will only give you a feeling of energy as the sugar it in will fuel you.a light sandwich is ok tho' but try to avoid heavy meals just before you run as it might make you nauseated.

its good to eat a good meal after a workout as it replenishes your body. just eat healthy, lots of rice, pasta, fresh fruits, veg and lean meat, chicken and fish. dont have a big meal before u workout. some fruit is good and gives u energy. save the meal for after. eat well and healthy and get plenty of sleep and u will do well.

That should make a noticeable difference to your body shape, energy and fitness. It is very important not just to eat the right foods but when you eat the right foods. Avoid carbs in the evening is a must. Best morning food is a bowl of porridge as it releases the energy slowly through the morning and keeps the hunger pangs away until lunch time. Don't starve yourself.\nMost importantly when checking progress over the coming weeks, don't worry about weight as the fat you are burning off will be offset by an increase in muscle (which weighs more than the same volume of fat) so you might not see a huge change in wieght but you should see a good change of shape.\nCheck out the body for life website for inspiration. Good luck!

You should definitely eat or have a protein shake after a workout. You could also have a small shake before, but not so big that you'd feel bloated, or you'll just feel nauseous. You shouldn't have a meal for about two hours before you workout, either. As for during workouts, you mainly need water to stay hydrated, but you can add some carbs to that to keep you going, so you could use a sports drink instead of plain water.\n\nThis is assuming you're trying to build muscle and doing resistance or weight training. If not, you'd want to do it differently.\n\nAs for rest in a workout, take between one and two minutes rest before doing another set of the same exercise.
