eat while working out!

**EastCoast Highlander** · 03-11-2008, 01:14 AM

I read this somewhere in muscular development that it is a good idea to intake protein while working out. Ive been doing this for the past few years myself. it really is a good idea instead of coasting on fumes... its like you have a built in gas station to fuel your body, your muscles will use the fuel throughout the whole workout

see I thought that would be a good idea too, but I never would do it because I read somewhere that its harder on the body because it can't focus on the process of digestion and building muscle during a workout. I think the reasoning behind it was it took some blood away from the muscles being used and used that blood in the stomach to aid digestion. haha I dont even know if what I just said makes sense, but anyway I read something along those lines.
