I literally almost threw up a tuna sandwich in the first 10 minutes. I can't eat within 2.5 hours of a really intense workout...especially seafood. Really? I have to eat something...usually about 60-90 minutes before is what works for me. But when I left work for the Y, I realized I was hungry, so I stopped off at a mini mart to get a sandwich...so that was about 45 the class actually started. I'm the same way as you, Mel! I get a horrible cramp if I eat too soon before running or swimming but I can eat everything in sight and still have no issues on the bike! I always have to eat before working out, but for me it's best if it's about 1-2 hrs before. If I eat too early, I get really bad hunger pains during my workout, and light-headedness. But if I eat too close to the workout, I'll want to puke (if it's a hard workout ) or I get GI issues (if it's an easy/moderate workout ). For me, timing is everything! |
