I usually eat a light meal half hour before working out. for instance a banana and yogurt or just almonds and raisins.

Working out on an empty stomach is not going to hurt you. If you are concerned about eating then working out you should do the swimming rule. Don’t drink lots of water or other liquids before you do. Especially if you push yourself to the max. You could get sick. If you do eat, eat a stomach filling breakfast with nutrients. You can cut time by just having a fruit shake or the other nutritional shakes out there. Again use moderation. Never eat a meal before working out. A snack like a apple or banana, a ganola bar is fine.

It’s better to have a small snack, like a protein bar, before working out. Keep in mind, your body hasn’t eaten anything for several hours, and your likely to either get a sour stomach or over eat after your work out.

If you’re exercising in the morning, you should be eating within the first hour that you’re awake. Whether it be a total breakfast (not completely recommended if you’re doing a full workout – cardio/weights) or a bowl of cereal or fruits. But yes, you should be eating SOMETHING!!!!!!

I think that you should eat something light at least if you were to do some hardcore exercise.
I remember I was sent to the hospital for over-exerting myself. I loss conciousness. The doctor told me I should have eaten before doing such an intense exercise.

I eat before working out in the morning. Your body has been fasting for several hours and needs fuel. Eat a piece of fruit…wait 10 mins and do your work out. Be sure to re-fuel with whole grains after your workout.

2 things you should do before working out. I have 3 things I have to do.
1. You should eat something…cereal, pancakes with applesauce…something with carbs in it.
2. You should do 5 minutes of stretching before you exerice.
(me? the 3rd thing…I have to shower to warm up).
Which reminds me…always warm up first..
