So normally when I go for a run or to the gym, I am tired in a bad way in 15-20 minutes. But I've noticed that on days where I go for burger and fries from a food truck, I can do exercice 4 hours later for 40-50 minutes before feeling exhausted, and even then I feel tired in a good way. Obviously eating burger and fries every other day is not really a good long term solution, so does anybody have good recommendations about what (and when) to eat to get through a workout with a maximum of energy?

I imagine that the basic idea is "carbs", but then what kind? how much? how long before exercising? etc.

[Seprix]

Eat pasta.

[2.71828.....]

I workout in the mornings before I eat anything. I should go to the gym more in the afternoons as well, but I am lazy

[2.71828.....]

Plus, afternoons are my time to waste spend on f.ds. How could I ever productively use waste that time?

[Joseph2302]

Gym is overrated.

If you already have a healthy diet, I don't think it's a good idea to change it just so you can exercise more. If you don't already have a healthy diet, make it a top priority to have a healthy diet before you worry about exercising. If you run regularly, you should be able to run (lightly) for at least an hour or so without getting tired regardless of what you've eaten that day.

Well, the fact that # is on the keyboard is an advantage i guess.

I guess, indeed. I could see this as being an advantage if quickly typing in chat or something. For a PowerPoint, there's no reason the professor couldn't take the effort to type Alt+8800. Or since it's an Office product, he could have inserted the symbol.

At the very least, != and <> are also easily typed from the keyboard and provides a universal use of not equal. They don't send a mixed signal like # does.

In any case, the notation should have been explained early in class and not left for the student to realize after handing in an exam.

I haven't played Dominion since Adventures came out. Even then, I played a friend's copy, and I think we played two or three games. I'm not even sure I've played all the Guilds cards.

I have never ever been able to run for one hour, not even close. I just don't eat enough, or I have a very high metabolism (probably a mix of both). I don't know what exactly you mean by a healthy diet, but before coming to Canada it was your typical mediterranean fare.

I'm trying to get fit enough for the military service I have this summer/fall, and I just avoid sugar, I don't really like foods with too much fat or salt to begin with, and then I just try to go out my way to get enough energy, protein and vitamins (for the record, I'm underweight, that's why I actually need to worry about getting enough energy). I'm under the impression that Mediterranean food is generally pretty healthy but that impression could be super wrong because I don't really know too much about it.

EDIT: Oh yeah and crap tons of water is really essential in case it wasn't already obvious. I need like 2 liters of water for a drum workout of 20ish minutes.

I took to primarily eating salads during lunch, with a good amount of protein added (chicken, bacon, sometimes egg, and then also avocado, tomatos, peppers, things like that).  Olive oil and balsamic dressing.  I feel a lot better eating that than, say, Chinese food.

The meaning was never explicitly explained, but we inferred it easily from the professor's explaination of the slides.

No big deal, but it was a bit annoying.

Oh, then Kuildeous is totally right.

I can't run or bicycle for more than about 30 minutes before I overheat.  (I don't sweat enough.)

I wish.  I am a very hot calculating machine.  In the thermodynamic sense.
