Come to think of it every fitness instructor I have ever consulted has told me this! I am slim and toned (though I never used to be) and always eat yogurt and fruit after exercise and often a baked potato. my personal trainer also told me the first hour after exercise is refered to as 'the golden hour' where what you eat gets burned up quicker, called after-burn, so its a good time to eat?!

I just read in Prevention magazine that the best method is to eat just a little something and then work out. After your workout, then eat your breakfast. Taylor was right about the body looking for energy sources. If your body is low on glycogen (the fuel for muscles), it then goes into the the Krebs cycle which burns fats. But it also burns proteins, and if your body is depleted, then it will get that protein from muscle mass. I always thought that I should workout first, which seemingly would ramp up my metabolism so that when I eat breakfast afterwards, I'm burning through what I ate and my metabolism would be revved all day. But apparently this is actually counter-intuitive. So I'm going to try the small snack prior to working out, and then my meal when I'm done. This is an interesting topic.

Otherwise the workout is pointless. Your body looks for nutrients to repair itself and nothing. Thus it eats into its own muscles.

COMMENT:
Bill, I heard that digestion is usually accompanied with increase of blood flow around stomach and intestines. After excercise your blood flow is high in muscles and on skin surface (to support tissues with oxygen and for thermoregulation reasons). So if you eat after excercise it can lead to rapid decrease in blood flow in muscles and increase of blood flow in internal organs. Maybe it’s not good too and can be another reason why you shouln’t eat right after the excercise?
