Nebraska researchers Karsten Koehler (second from right) and Christopher Gustafson (right) have found that a person's choice of post-workout snack -- an apple vs. a brownie, in a recent experiment -- can depend on when the choice is made. Study participants who decided before exercising were about one-third more likely to choose an apple than were those who decided afterward.
