Usually about 2 hours after eating can be considered an empty stomach. Normally you eat about every 3 hrs. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!

I'm now working out at around 11am and I have my last small meal (oats) at around 9.30am. I'm on a diet (again!) and this works fine for me. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I feel it's catabolic and that the extra fat you might burn would burn just as well if you're not on an empty stomache because you'll have added intensity. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
