What you eat before and after exercise can make a difference to how much you get out of your work out.  Healthy Food Guide dietitian Jess Burvill and nutritionist and mum-of-three Kathleen Alleaume dig into the research around the best eating patterns to fuel exercise, whether you're a regular gym goer, a performance athlete, or looking for ways to keep your kids' energy levels up for sports. Plus, they answer whether it's best to be fasted or fed before exercise.
