Be careful not to overdo it when it comes to how much you eat before exercise. General guidelines suggest:
- Large meals. Eat these at least 3 to 4 hours before exercising.
- Small meals or snacks. Eat these about 1 to 3 hours before exercising.
Eating too much before you exercise can leave you feeling slow-moving. Eating too little might not give you the energy you need to keep feeling strong during your workout.
