Depends on the workout...

LISS = low intensity, steady state...I'll eat an unadorned potato wrapped in lettuce...clean carbs.

HIIT = high intensity interval training...I'll forego eating anything since going anaerobic can be a little dicey w/ the stomach🙃

@KCDiva   Blood goes to your stomach area during digestion.... if you work out with food to digest in your stomach, less blood goes to your legs etc that need the blood during exercise...Oxygen.... thus, you will feel better to work out with no food in your stomach  or  at least several hours between eating a light meal and working out.

@SeaMaiden is absolutely correct regarding the blood goes right to the stomach if there is undigested food.  It is best to work out on an empty stomach if you can.  I have days where I don't feel like I can do it that way.  Then I will have a coffee and a small cup of yogurt and wait at least a half hour before working out.

Always was only empty for me.  🤢things come right up for some of us.

coffee always, a few crackers, and i'm good to go. if i don't eat before working out, i get hungry during and i don't like the feeling

I'm usually up at 4:40am to feed the cat and work out by 5:00 for about 30-45 minutes depending on what I'm doing.  All done on an empty stomach.  I can't eat that early so after working out will have coffee and then get ready for work.  Don't usually eat until around 9:00am.  Weekends are a bit a different and may not work out until late morning or afternoon, which by then I've eaten.

Thank you all! I may try going before eating tomorrow. Happy new year and here’s to good health! 😊

I walk in the morning before the sun rises, so an empty stomach for me.

No, never. I eat long before my workout so my stomach is not completely empty. I just feel sickly if I don't eat before exercise.
