What to Eat Pre-Workout
-16-20 oz water 1-2 hours before
-doesn't use energy from food you've eaten recently so exercising on an empty stomach is ok unless low blood sugar is an issue
-if you need to eat immediately before high carb low fat is best ex. juice, smoothie, banana, bagel
besides that moderate exercisers can rely on their normal healthy eating routines, not anything special pre-workout.
