If the amount of meals is small and the food is mainly carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits or liquid food, the interval between meals and exercise can be relatively shortened according to the intensity of exercise.

Reasons for not exercising immediately after a meal
After a meal, the stomach is full of food, and the gastrointestinal tract is shaken during exercise, so that the mesentery connecting the gastrointestinal tract is pulled, causing abdominal pain. During exercise, the distribution of blood shifts from the digestive tract to the skeletal muscle, which promotes the ischemia of the digestive tract and leads to the spasm of the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, thus causing abdominal pain.
When exercising, the whole body oxygen demand increases, and people who usually lack exercise have small lung capacity. At this time, breathing hard is easy to appear shallow and fast. This makes the negative pressure in the chest cavity decrease, which results in the obstruction of blood return to the liver, which leads to liver congestion and increased tension of liver capsule, which causes liver pain, which is manifested as pain in the right upper abdomen.
