Question

Me and my husband go running and we would like to know if we should eat breakfast first and why?

Answer 1

It has been at least 8 to 10 hours since you last ate. You should have a few carbs before bed and some light breakfast. You need fuel to burn. The added bonus is it will help increase your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories during the day. the running should help your s*x life also.

Answer 2

You should eat something light. You do need some energy after waking up.

Answer 3

Eat like a power bar or something, cause if you eat too much you will get cramps. And even a little bit can give you a stomach ache and/or cramps. Power bars are great. Not too much fluids, either.

Answer 4

it depends how long you are going to run and your purpose. if you are looking to lose weight, then don't eat because then your body will burn off fat. if you are just trying to keep healthy/ build muscle, then you could eat, but eating is not absolutely necessary. i personally run 10-20 minutes in the morning without eating breakfast first, and last summer I used to run 10 minutes on a treadmill, swim 15 laps, and then go running on a track for another 10 minutes, all before eating breakfast.

Answer 5

You should eat breakfast first because if you don't eat breakfast first you will not burn as many calories because your body will be trying to hang on to fat if you body doesn't have food in it.

Answer 6

Breakfast is something i actually always promote.  If you hadn't eaten since noon, and its now 6:30 or later, would you go out and run?  Probably not, because you won't have as much energy.  This is the same thing as not eating breakfast.  You have slept (hopefully) 6 or 8 hours, during which time you weren't eating.  After those hours, the best way to give yourself energy for your running and for the rest of the day is to eat breakfast.

Besides, it tastes good :-p
