This concept of "exercise snacking" is a more effective way for us to help the most metabolically diseased populations.
Such "exercise snacking," or doing exercise in short bursts, provides a break from sedentary time, whether it's performed before meals or at other times of day, said study researcher Dr. Jim Cotter, associate professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
The two exercise snacking regimens differed in the type of intense exercise that was done — in one, participants walked up an incline at a brisk pace, whereas in the other, they alternated between walking and resistance training.
They either did one 30-minute session of moderate exercise before dinner, or did one of two "exercise snacking" regimens — consisting of six 1-minute bursts of intense exercise, separated by 1 minute of slow walking between each burst — completed 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The day will include warm-up exercises, snacks and water, running-theme activities indoors and participation medals.
Pre-exercise snacks were given according to capillary glucose measurements (15 g carbohydrate >108 mg/dL and 30 g carbohydrate ≤108 mg/dL).
Standardized dietary recommendations were for a low-carbohydrate (30 40 g) or a protein-based breakfast and 50 60 g carbohydrate for lunch and evening meals, with between-meal or pre-exercise snacks (15 g carbohydrate per 30 min physical activity).
To conclude, breakfast before exercise appeared beneficial for post-exercise mood even when a post-exercise snack was consumed.
