What do you eat before a morning workout?

I think it depends on the person... so you might need to do a lot of trial and error to see what works best for you and what you like. I don't eat at all before morning workouts. Unless it is a long run, then I will have a bar and also pack some gels to take on my run. But if you are only working out for about an hour or so, you don't NEED to eat before hand. IMO

I either eat two egg whites microwaved with no oil and a little hot sauce and a mini whole wheat bagel, or plain oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a banana. I hold off on the coffee until I am done, recovered and hydrated. Then I eat a tuna pack mid morning to get me through till lunch.

I run every morning first thing after waking up. I do not eat before I work out. I do fine with it.

I went for walk or play football at 8 a.m and I don't eat anything before going

Yoga is best done on an empty stomach, so nothing but have my muesli, soymilk and cup of tea afterwards.

I think this is personal preference.

I don't like to eat anything within 2 hrs of starting a workout. Since I normally workout early in the morning, I tend to grab a couple of cups of coffee and then get my breakfast in after.

It really depends what you're going to do. Run 20 miles? Upper body day? Surfing? Brisk walk? If you're going to do something long, then something in the tank would most likely be a good idea. Could be something as simple as a banana though...

For me it doesn't matter that much. My previous day's meals seem to matter more than something I eat an hour or two before working out unless it's something like Gatorade (fast absorbing carbs).

If I eat a lot of carbs the day before, and do a leg workout the next day I feel great. If I do a low carb day the day before a leg workout, even if i eat a fibrous slow absorbing carbs such as oatmeal an hour or two before the workout, I feel drained. Yet eating a large fibrous slow absorbing carb meal in the morning, something like 5 to 7 hours before a workout might help. And of course simple fast absorbing sugars will spike your blood sugar and give you energy.

Of course I take caffeine before a workout in the form of pills or coffee, and sometimes mix ephedrine in with it as a preworkout.

I'm a new member of Anytime Fitness Gym (since Oct 8, 2013) and I work out six days a week. Since I'm diabetic, I have to watch my carbohydrates, fat, starch, and sugar intake. Diabetics need breakfast before workouts because blood sugar can drop dangerously low. I do okay with drinking an 11-oz carton of AdvantEDGE Carb Control Rich Dark Chocolate shake with a microwaved breakfast of substitute egg whites to which I add in a few bacon bits or diced ham, fresh sliced mushrooms, fresh spinach leaves, fresh salsa, and some parmesan cheese (or reduced fat cheese). Since I like 'hot' peppery food, I also add salt, black pepper, a few hot pepper flakes, and hot sauce just before eating. If I want, I'll add in other spices I like. I am switching from the AdvantEDGE shake to the Anytime Fitness Gym Whey Protein shake mix in a few weeks because it will be a higher protein source and help boost my energy level throughout my one-hour workouts. My Coach recommended I include fresh fruit (apple) with my breakfast because its natural sugar is lasting and helps with energy too. If I want a change from the egg white omelet, I have another breakfast...Nonfat Greek fruit flavored Yogurt to which I add in 1/4 cup of Food Lion Oats n More dry cereal and it has granola w/honey and almonds. It's crispy and good tasting.

Would also just echo what Mrsallypants said about the previous day having an impact on my performance more than anything else. Certainly if I did not eat enough (or the right balance) I struggle to even get out of bed (although I have no real reason bar laziness and my bed being so warm)

If it's early nothing.. meal timings don't matter in the grand scheme of things. If certain foods make you feel better then eat them.
