hey guys, i was wondering what you guys eat when you wakeup if you like to workout in the mornings. i'm just starting to get back on schedule, and i'm planning on waking up around 7:30 tomorrow, eating a pre-workout meal by 8 and then heading to the gym at around 9. sound like a good plan? i'm not too sure what i should be fueling myself with though because i only wanna wait an hour before exercising and i don't enjoy working out on a super full tummy. any ideas? thanks everyone:)

    I typically eat oatmeal with blueberries in it before a morning workout. For evening workouts, I will have a banana + granola or piece of toast before.

    I do splits A.M. / P.M. but in the morning I stick to either 3 cups of cereal (2 cups Kashi mixed with 1 cup Kelloggs Double chocolate crave cereal) or 4 pcs. of Sara Lee Multi-grain toast with All Natural Crunchy Jiff peanut butter with a sprinkle of honey. I have both meals with my morning travel mug size cup of Keurig coffee with 2 spoons of Domino pure cane sugar and 2 Tbsp. of Hershey's chocolate and caramel coffee creamer... I have a medium Dole banana too...

    Every morning I either walk 2 miles or I do another chapter of C25K walk/jog.

    I eat breakfast when I get home.

    I get up at 5 to be at the gym by 5:30ish :) I have water before my workout. 5 minute warmup on elliptical followed by rotating strength Circuit then 30 minutes on the elliptical. When I get home I have a cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch mixed with a cup of Chobani Greek Yogurt.

    I eat a little before I workout in the morning or my sugar goes crazy. So typically I have a piece of toast (I use a light version because of the diabetes) with 1 TB peanut butter, after my workout I usually have my protein shake, which is unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of body fortress whey protein, and 1 TB of ground flax seed.
