2. Size matters
Be careful not to overdo it when it comes to how much you eat before exercise. The general guidelines suggest:
- Large meals. Eat these at least three to four hours before exercising.
- Small meals or snacks. Eat these about one to three hours before exercising.
Eating too much before you exercise can leave you feeling sluggish. Eating too little might not give you the energy to keep you feeling strong throughout your workout.
