Uhm usually I eat lunch 3-4 hours before my workout, then about an hour and a half before, I eat an apple with some almond butter or just some cottage cheese and fruit.0

2 slices of wholemeal toast, 10g soya spread and a tsp of Lime marmalade with a nice cup of tea from a bone china cup, one hour before my workout. I may even put a carnation in a glass, but I don't eat that.0

In most cases, I'll eat a snack that consists of whey protein and a piece of fruit about 2-3 hours before my workout (which consists of weight training). And then I'll have consume C4 (or similar stimulant-based pre-workout) about 20-30 minutes before the workout.
Other options that don't involve pre-workout supplementation that worked well for me.
1) Meal 2-3 hours before the workout and an apple or banana about 30 minutes before a workout.
2) Meal 60-90 minutes before the workout. The meal should not be too heavy with starch-based carbs.0 -
