What does everyone eat before a workout (if anything at all)? I'm very interested to hear your suggestions!

    today I had greek yogurt, sometimes I have eggs and cheese. I don't stress too much about what I eat before hand, but make sure I replenish after!

    I work out in the evenings after I have had dinner. I have 1 scoop of muscle milk afterwards and that helps keep my soreness down the next morning.

    I recently started drinking a whey protein shake before going to the gym.
    1 scoop in a cup of whole milk.
    I started doing this after I got a fuzzy headed after a workout and not having eating enough during the day before going to the gym.
    Seems to make a difference in my energy level at through the workout too, particularly swimming. It is easier to push past 2 miles then hit the weight room.

    Pre workout is either a protein bar or protein shake about 1.5 hours prior. I usually lift at night so afterwards I take some BCAAs and have dinner.
