i'm looking at a home elliptical/exercise bike combo that i'm going to buy soon. i think it will be just what i need to get some low-impact cardio exercise. i have chronic lower back pain and stiffness which makes doing anything physical including working out pretty difficult and likely to aggravate my pain more, but i'm pretty sure an elliptical is supposed to be about the lowest impact you can get. besides maybe like water aerobics or something, but i can't swim.

question for people who have a regular workout routine. is it better to eat before or after your workout? or both? does it matter? i've been restricting caloric intake for a couple years now by eating 2 meals a day as my main avenue for weight loss, so i typically have my first meal at about 11:30 or noon. my go-to is scrambled eggs with diced pepper turkey lunchmeat, spinach, garlic and sundried tomatoes, with some banana-nutmeg-walnut steel cut oatmeal.

so, do you eat before you workout to fuel your workout and for your body to burn carbs, or you do you eat after to replenish energy after being drained and so your body burns fat stores instead of the carbs, or what? should i split the difference, have either the eggs or the oatmeal before and then the other one after? i've looked up a few sources of info about it but they seem pretty conflicting.
everything Ive seen for this kind of question is whatever works best for you

same with the question of what time of day is best to workout
