What should I eat pre-workout?

Options
Alright so I am trying to figure out some snack options before working out. I need to have enough energy to get me through 20 mins of cardio and then 60 mins of weight training. Any suggestions?

    Before I run my 5k each day I eat half a banana and an ounce of cashews

    Do you have a problem with energy levels, or are you just assuming you will?

    Something like a payday sounds about perfect for what you are trying to do.

    My training program is still relatively new. I just need some help figuring out good pre-workout snacks. I usually eat a banana with 1 tbsp of peanut butter which is fine if i'm only doing some cardio, but I feel very famished at the end of my 60 min weight training.

    I should also note that I only have supper after my workouts.

    try eating some carbs, carbs give you the most energy. Try whole grain toast with peanut butter.
