When to eat dinner

If you do an exercise class 7-8pm when do you eat dinner? I thought i'd be fine to eat when i got home, but my stomach won't stop rumbling!! Also if you eat something small before the class, what do you eat after?

I eat at 5 for my class at 7-8pm and then have a protein rich snack for post exercise.

You’ve got to have a snack before going!

If you finish work at five have a snack on the way home, banana etc.

Then have a glass of milk when you get in. Otherwise you have no energy for the class, just be careful not to eat too much!

Big snack before class around 5:30pm when I leave work (protein balls, even a small portion of pasta or something else substantial not just fruit!) then dinner after but generally something small and light or pre-prepared as I am always tired by then to cook and eat loads

Thank you, I like the idea of a banana beforehand. Just don't want to be jumping around with a belly full of food 🤢 I was soooooo hungry when I got home last night I wanted to eat everything in sight!

When I do a 7.30 spin class, I have dinner around 5 but it has to be something light (soup or something).
