I am a newbie! I am a healthy 69 y.o. Having undergone two successful hip replacements this Covid year, I gained 20 lbs. I am back on the fitness track now. I do power walking at least 4, aim for 6 days a week for 30+ min., I work out early, 8 am, before breakfast, after coffee and water.. Do you think I should eat before? Yesterday I clocked 3888 steps, and felt physically tired all day. I climbed a few steep hills too. Eat before or after..I am muscular 5’4” and 172lbs.
Hi, MoonRiverPlayer, and welcome! What you’re doing sounds great. If you have time to wait for your food to digest before working out, I suggest trying to eat breakfast before and see if that makes a difference for your energy levels. Your body will tell you what is best.
Thank you. I ate a piece of whole grain toast with peanut butter…1/2 my breakfast before workout. That worked..I didn’t feel as fatigued, and my workout was longer.
Now, another issue..I am planning my own menus, following your guidelines. I am officially starting over this Monday. What happens if you are just .2 deficient in one category? How can you move forward, if you are only in the red zone .2? I spent all morning trying to balance my breakfast, which came very close. How do you satisfy a small deficit? .2 of a fat seems negligible?..frustrated because I am liking this plan A lot!
