Digestive system!!

[Douglas]

If you walk around a bit right after you eat, your food digests a bit quicker.

What time of day do you run?

3-4 scramble eggs is all protein+fat and NO carbs!! I was always lead to believe that heavy on carbs and light on the protein about 1-2 hours before heavy cardio activity was the best.

Me self, I always run early-mid mornings and have some whole grain bread, a banana, and some caffeine pills before hand. Then after I would have a protein shake, follow up an hour or so later with a balanced solid meal lunch.

I think complex carbs and a bit of "healthy" sugar (via fruits) is a good bet before cardio. Much quicker to digest than a heavy protein meal and provides more accessible energy in the short term.

I usually run before I eat, that way I'm drawing from the bodies stored fat and burning it up.

I would assume three hours afterward is plenty though.

I found that helpful as well,by jogging on a empty stomach!!I've done that before when i was on a crash diet(about 18months ago)but im now on a mission to build up a bit of muscle"like me good old days!".Im having more "DIG" in me punches i feel by going back to me Dumbells!But im trying to to keep the puppy fat off me hips.

I agree that a 3hours rest break after a medium lunch is fine by going by the way i feel when i do go and do a 4-6 road-work session!Thanks mate!

Has anyone got any scientific evidence on the digestive break down of food?i would totally appreciate the feedback on the matter!

My mate doing medicine at uni just told me 2-3 hours should be plenty for a medium to large meal, so I guess your right

I'm hoping that two long runs a week, two sprint sessions and my boxing will help me to get back ripped in under two months; the liklihood?
