Of course you'd miss it even if you weren't hungry! I think I enjoy food much more when I'm not hungry and just doing it for pleasure!

Whats the point of working out if you can't get any stronger or make any improvements?

In that case, i'd be eating food non stop.

I can't help but wonder why things get so side-tracked. I'm 99% certain the OP was just asking from what do you get more pleasure: eating or working-out?

From that some of us extrapolated that we had to choose to either eat OR exercise. Well, of course we need to eat in order to survive so I really don't think that was the question's point. Somebody figured we'd get no benefits from exercising so we may as well just eat and yet another person figured we could eat as much as we want. Guys...really, it's just this simple: compare the pleasure you get from exercising to that of eating.

FWIW....I double my pleasure: I eat WHILE I exercise!!!

tsk tsk...amateurs

How do you manage this!?

LOL...mostly kidding, but on my longer weight-training sessions, I'll sometimes borrow a page from some of the body-builders I've seen and sip from a protein shake, and I drink the Double-Chocolate shake...so yes: exercise AND eating!

There was this one time at a racquetball tournament that they served pizza mid-way through the event (very odd)....but we were just playing for fun, I had no placement going and I didn't feel like chugging the slices that were quickly & rapidly disappearing....so there I was playing doubles in the back of the court...racquet in my right hand, slice of pizza in the left. You don't use the left hand for much anything with racquetball, so why not. It was funny.

The weirdest thing I've ever seen was about 17 years ago....a group of friends invited me to play softball. Casual game. Mixed gender. Goof-off game. The other team had some pregnant gal playing in right field...as she stood out there with her glove on, she had a cigarette in her other hand. Woman, pregnant, smoking standing/playing in right field. Very strange. Dumb bitch! (smoke/pregnant).

I'm not exactly sure I'm fully understanding this thread.

If it doesn't affect me positively or negatively no matter what I choose, then I would pick neither. I would go wow, I don't have to eat or do anything forever. Then I would make a bet with my friends and say I bet I can eat all this food everyday, all day, and not gain or lose a single pound. And they'd be all like, Nuh-uh. And I'll be all like Uh-huh. And boom, I would be the richest man in the world. That'd be my plot.

As for eating and exercising, it's quite easy. Especially with MREs in the middle of the water. Just turn on your back, and start eating. Also, while running, simply stuff some food down and run. It's not going to be pretty, but you'll get the bulk of it down. Imagine a small child at his first birthday with cake smashed all over his face and stuff.... now take that image and you got how one would look while eating and running.

The pump from working out is great.

But everyone here knows that if there were no benefits at all ( Looks, strength, health ) you would rather stuff your face with ice cream and pies knowing you cant get fat.

It feels like someone is blowing air into your muscles, it feels different... it feels fantastic.

I get as much satisfaction out of it as I do from cumming with a woman, can you imagine how much in heaven I am in? I get the feeling of cumming in the gym, I get the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, I get the feeling of cumming when I pose..... I am cumming day and night!

RWS, you're really Arnold?

I would enjoy working out more than eating because I don't eat that much. But I love to work out!

The more I learn about nutrition and fitness (from theory and experience both), the more I regard eating as a chore and exercise as fun (see: the reason to eat).

Guess that's sort of just stating the obvious, but yeah.
