    I have to eat. I always eat. I am way to intense when I give my all that I NEED the energy. I used to hate eating so early, but then I became accustomed to it. I'm also looking to increase in size and to not fatigue so fast. This is how a personal dietician told me to go about it and her advice was worth it. :)

    My issue is the puking. I need at least two hours after eating before I work out, if not I just feel like crap the entire workout. I proved this to myself this past week just in case I'd forgotten it.

    Finally went back to a morning session today after not having done one in years. (Yes, years) Normally I am in the same boat where if I eat ANYTHING prior to a workout, it threatens to come back up and leaves me kind of half-assing it in an attempt to keep it down. But I was starving this morning and scarfed down a clif protein bar prior to the workout and didn't feel like it was going to come back up at all. Not sure what the difference was this morning than the norm, but I was glad for it!

    I HATED to eat in the morning for the same feeling, not hungry and puking. I want to be the BEST I can be and was recommended for my needs that eating before will give me the extra energy. So I weaned into it. I went from NOT being able to eat anything in the morning, now able to eat over 600 plus calories before a workout. Hey, her input gave me enough energy to win my race last year...

    Not to get too far off topic but throwing up used to be a concern for me as well but I have found that now I am in better shape I don't have to wait as long after eating to work out. Maybe you are just in better shape now.

    I personally do not. I just try to drink a big glass of water when I wake up a little bit after 5 in case I'm dehydrated from the night before.
