collegechemistrystudent said:Oranges and bananas are also easy to transport.
I bought a bottle of orange juice today, so I'll use that as a water bottle for a while.
These beats eating the overpriced big burritos at the student food court, and I don't have to find tubberware that works.
collegechemistrystudent said:that shows how little you know..
collegechemistrystudent said:Only the orange JUICE is high glycemic.
collegechemistrystudent said:But you need high glycemic stuff right after a workout, or during one.
DammitLetMeIn said:It can be dangerous to ingest food during a workout.
DammitLetMeIn said:These are high glycemic and will sent your blood sugar sky high and instruct your body to store fat.

Any fruit has sugar in it. Are you advocating that we stop eating fruits because they have natural sugar in them?

collegechemistrystudent said:[
most fruits have fiber in them that slow the release of the sugar..
collegechemistrystudent said:[
most fruits, except those very low in fiber, are very low glymic. This is a well known fact. Someone messed that up on BB.com, but one of the moderaters corrected him..

Now white bread is as high as pure sugar.
Harie said:DLMI - are you going to explain why you feel it's bad to eat while exercising?
DammitLetMeIn said:I didn't say it was 'bad', I said it can be potentially dangerous.
It was something I read in a science journal in the library about a year or two ago...anyways I did a web search and found this:
'Another misconception is that drinking extra fluid enhances athletic performance. You need adequate intake of fluids and calories before and during prolonged exercise, but overdoing it can impair performance and potentially be dangerous.'

Harie said:That link has to do with drinking a lot of water or other fluids while running a marathon though...Not about "eating" while working out..
Harie said:If you're sweating gallons of sweat, then, of course, drinking things like Gatorade etc are better choices than plain water...
Harie said:With that said, weight lifting and running a marathon are 2 totally different things. Weight lifters eat during a workout to keep from becoming catabolic. Marathon runners don't care about losing muscle mass, since they don't have a lot of muscle mass to begin with.
