The best is open to interpretation but I throw back a shake consisting of 6 eggs and 1/2 cup of quick oats mixed with a scoop of cell mass berry flavor to improve the flavor and add my creatine. Any caffeine will help with energy and a bit of focus/ intensity. Works for me and I've been doing it for a long while.

Something high in carbs, moderate in protein and low in fat. Something easily digesting so you don't feel bloated and gasy during your workout.
I really like a bowl of oatmeal with a scoop of whey isolate mixed in. Easy digesting and it'll give you nice sustained energy throughout your workout

I train early so cereal (not Cap Crunch or something like that).
There are two issues at play for many.
1) Time of day. It's relatively, at least currently, for me as I tend towards my main gym sessions within 2 hours of breakfast. Others struggle because the majority train after a days work or at school. So it's often when their energy can drop off. Hence the use of preworkouts - which then keep them awake
2) Piss poor eating habits. Kinda obvious lol. It's better to ask not what to have before a workout but rather to consider EVERY meal as part of what's gonna give you energy. If you ate well all day yesterday and then not quite so well in the morning you'll still have a better workout than if all the meals are poor.
Stevesmi has successfully trialed fasting and found, as have others, that the body adapts. The first few sessions might be a struggle but after a while...
Finally, some of my best sessions have been when I felt tired and or hungry. It's like my body knew i was gonna try and f**k it up and saved me some 'steam' for the gym

It is usually water that people neglect. Make sure you are hydrated before training or you will be constantly trying to catch up and end up with a full stomach. That makes it uncomfortable when you are trying to train. If you feel like you need food before you train then just try simple foods that are easy to digest like a sweet potato or an apple.
