Question

Does it matter if u eat alot, but then go excercise.?
Will anything happen, or do they just cancel each other out.

Answer

Two items that have been failed to be addresed in all of the responses thus far are your goals. brbr. Are you trying to lose fat? Gain muscle mass? Both?br. What type of workout? Cardio? Resistance training?brbrThe response will be in combination to these two answers.brbrGain muscle Lose fat CardiobrYes it does matter. Your cardio sessions are best don on an empty stomach as your body will be forced to get energy from metabolizing fat. If you eat prior to doing your cardio, you will only be burning the food that you have just eaten instead of the fat that you desire.brbrGain Muscle Resistance TrainingbrYou dont need to eat alot, but you do need to eat smart in order to feed your muscles during your workout. Typically you can do this with g whey protein and g of slow burning carbs.brbrGain Muscle Lose Fat Resistance TrainingbrThis is a much slower process due to the two items that you are trying to accomplish. You diet is even more critical in this case. Before your workout, you will still need to feed yourself but stay on the low end of the carb intake.brbrDecide on what your goals are and remember that you diet is going to be of the equation. Be smart about what you eat and when you eat. For your diet, remember the followingbrbr Eat your last meal hours before you go to bed. This meal must be high protein, low no carb, low no fat. This will give you the building blocks that your muscles need to rebuild and help you get a good nights sleep.br You want to create a caloric deficit, but you want to do this but expending more energy while maintaing a clean diet, not by turning to a restricted calorie diet.br In order to burn one pond, you have to have a caloric deficit of calories.brbrGood luck!!
