i usually eat oatmeal and some whey protien about 1 1/2 before or blend the oats with soy milk and whey protein with a dash of splenda for a shake

seems to work for me

Just an energy bar and 2 cups of coffee 1 hour before.

thanks, is it ok to get any fruit in there?

1 serving Total Lean, 1 cup of oatmeal and a protein bar or shake 30 minutes before. I wouldn't eat a lot of fruit, it will spike your insulin levels quickly, then might leave you feeling slugish half way through your workout, eat the fruit after your workout instead =]

having carbs an hour or less before working out lowers testosterone. just have a protien shake about an hour before

b4workout...

I usually have to eat something before I workout. I also disagree with not eating carbs before workout.. Carbs spike your insulin levels...

I usually don't workout until I've had at least two good meals already. . and I eat a least 6x a day..

I usually eat something about a half hour before I get in the car to drive to the gym... takes me 20 minutes to get there.... Also, I always have a premixed protein shake with me in the gym.... Sometimes if I get hungry while working out I'll slam it.. but usually wait until done...

I actually like to eat a little while working out sometimes. I've found that I can workout harder and longer.. Just don't ever eat much. want blood in your muscles not gut...
