People eat more the night before exercise, study finds Jonathan Chadwick For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo
People eat more the night before a workout, a new study shows – likely because they know they re going to work off the calories the next day.
UK sport scientists tested a group of 14 men – made up of university staff and students, as well as members of the public – who were all used to gym-based aerobic exercise.
When they had an exercise session planned for the next day, the participants ate an average of 10 per cent more, the team found.
The finding could be explained by an subconscious belief that having extra reward can be compensated for by engaging in positive, healthy behaviours, like exercise.
Is the term plant-based too limiting for this rapidly expanding sector?
