A bit late, 4/5 last week.

4/4, did all my workouts in the late evening this week.  I am starting to really like it.  As I mentioned before the gym is nice and empty, sometimes they even turn the music off, which is a really blessing.  Another big plus is that I go a couple of hours after dinner which means I have the fuel of the meal boosting my energy.

> I have the fuel of the meal boosting my energy.

That's what I thought as well John, however I did quite a bit of researching and it seems - if you're looking for weight/fat loss - that eating before a workout will burn the food in your body rather than the fat. Also I'm not able to give it all I got if my stomach is full. Almost puked the other night doing dead lifts..

On the nights where I workout at 8 or 9 - I usually eat very very light and do a good heavy meal when I get home at 10-10.30. Good thing also that lifting kind of takes some of the hunger away hence doing smaller portions with high protein works for me.

4/4

This has been asserted, then debunked and de-debunked more recently (the whole question of working out fueled or unfueled that is). Not too long ago they were saying "carbs fuel the furnace that burn fat so if you work out on empty you won't burn as much." Perhaps next year it will be de-de-debunked and they'll be back to that. I don't know.

But I do believe that unless you're an elite athlete, these are small considerations, optimizing around the edges, and the key is to get there and do something. Any program is way better than no program and the most important thing is to remove obstacles to action. If eating dinner then going to the gym works for you, it works for you. Just keep at it.

Good points Ergo. There's not one size fits all I guess. To me, it's more about feeling better and I simply can't raise hell with my stomach full

1/5, finally back to 100% this week.

Wasn't my fault, the gym was closed.

5/5, back on track.
