I personally recommend foods that are easy to digest:

I like to eat:

couple of boiled eggs
1 cup of oatmeal
1 banana
16 fl oz. of gatorade

I have a meal 1 hr 15 minutes before my workout.

if i were to eat that my stomach would be empty by the time i pickup my first weight.

Training on a full stomach is not good. . . . .most of the blood and other bodily fluids are concentrated on digestion rather than engorging the muscles.

Would you eat a couple of sandwiches right before you go on a long run? I think not.

They sit in your stomach during your workout because your body isn't focused on digestion.

I usually go with oatmeal and a shake, about 2 hours before the workout

 

[p0ink]

i usually eat:

4 eggs, 1 cup of oatmeal, some peanuts, and a big glass of milk.

I'll eat 1/2 of oatmeal, and usually some bacon, eggs and toast. Gives me lots of energy. Or I'll have a small meal and oatmeal. I have to avoid things like luncheon meats, which give me serious heartburn.
