How long must I wait to eat after swimming?

Question

ok i swim for 1 hour everyday and finish around 9:30.

I get really hungry but my friends told me not to eat right away after swimming or else my my swimming exercise would go to waste.

So they told me to wait an hour before i eat.

How long must i wait to eat after swimming?

and also what type of food should i eat?

Answer 1

your friends are wrong.  you could eat while you swim if you wanted, it will only affect your workout and your stomach might get a little upset.

if anything when your hungry and you dont eat you are starving your muscles.

Answer 2

It is recommended that you do eat within 20 minutes of workout.  It helps build your muscles back up.  Eat healthy though.  Drinking chocolate milk is good too.

Answer 3

1. How long? at least 30 minutes

2. Eat something with carbs. This gives you energy, and enables you to burn calories more efficiently.

Food with carbs: potatoes, pasta, bread

Answer 5

Opposite: you don't eat a good hour before you hit the pool. Once you're out of there, you can eat just about right away (do take the time to change first! - just kiddig).

Answer 6

You should probably wait until your hands are dry and then eat healthy.
