The best foods to eat before a workout depends on how much time you have to eat before the workout and the type of workout. If you are working out early in the morning, eating a snack which contains less than 300 calories and very little fat is recommended. Breakfast means to break the fast. You workout will be more effective if you eat something. You wouldn’t think of driving your car 100 miles on empty would you? The amount and type of foods you eat are very individual. Some suggestions include: Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with skim milk, low-fat yogurt plus 8 oz of water, sport drink or diluted juice, a breakfast bar or energy bar that contains 3 to 4 times as many carbs as protein plus 8 oz water. 1 slice of toast with 1 tbsp jam, jelly or honey (skip the butter) plus 8 oz water or sport drink, 1 large banana plus 8 ounces of sport drink or diluted juice.
