    I workout at 3:45am and don't eat prior too. I think I would puke if I did! I have a protein shake afterwards. I love the morning workouts - it's like a big cup of coffee!!!!

    I've always heard that it is more efficient if you exercise in the am. I exercise at night just because that's the only time I can. And Ive noticed that when I'm tired, that's when I run the longest...I guess it's a mind thing : )

    I get up about 6am. I dont eat anything, I try to drink some water. I do the 30 day shred and done. I shower, get ready for work, get my daughter ready and fed. I eat when I get to work....about 9am. Some days I'm hungry and I'll eat a banana before leaving for work.

    I cant eat that early...but thats just me!

    I'm also an a.m.-er and I don't eat before my workout. I do, however, drink water before and during my routines.

    :drinker: I NEVER Eat before I workout because it makes me nauseated. Even a Banana or a yogurt.
    You just have to figure out what works best for YOUR Body, then DO It. I do always eat as soon as possible AFTER I workout.

    I CrossFit every weekday morning at 6 a.m. The only thing I can tolerate on my stomach is a Green Superfoods drink (drink powder with 16 ounces of water) with a bit of flax seed powder added. Keeps me hydrated, has enough calories (100 or so) to keep me from getting hungry or nauseous during the workout, and isn't heavy enough to make me feel sluggish.

    I run very early in the morning in the summer to beat the heat and avoid the sun.

    Hi, I workout between 4-5 a.m. and I never eat before I workout. I tend to get nauseated if I workout during the day after I eat. I just stay hydrated while working out. I drink the Results & Recovery Formula after my intense workout to ensure my muscles are not used as energy or a high carb protein smoothie.

    I also work out at 5 am. Hadn't been eating either prior to my work out (just wasn't hungry) and I had read the same thing that you had posted (can't remember where I had seen it, teambeachbody.com?) Anyway.... I started drinking 5 oz of my Protein drink right before my work outs (currently on day 83 of P90X) and I started loosing weight again. Yay! Not sure if it was actually that or joining this website, but in less than the 2 weeks that I've been a member on here I've lost 10 lbs. Prior to that I was at the same weight for over 60 days while doing my P90X Doubles routine.

    i do 5 am work outs 5 days a week I just stay hydrated and have a healthy breakfast after my shower. i have gained so much muscle that i didn't have before. i guess it is like anything else, it depends on the person. plus people like to give their input on what you should and shouldn't do, but do what is right for you.

    I typically take 10 minutes to myself pre workout while stretching and drink my SPARK. Once I'm done with my workout I eat a banana. I usually eat breakfast within an hour after that (post shower and getting ready).
