    I get up at 4:45, grab my sippy cup of Spark and I'm out the door to the gym. I don't eat anything beforehand if I work out in the AM, but on couple days I work out in the evening, I'll usually have a sweet potato/banana beforehand.

    I usually get up at 6:00, check email and such, and hit the gym in the basement ... I need to pack lunches and get the kids to school at 7:30. I really need that first workout (I do several small ones throughout the day, I'm a SAHM with a home gym, so it works) but I always feel really off if I don't start my day with a quick workout ... :)

    I don't eat before, and often don't eat for a while. Just not super hungry in the mornings.

    I've had morning sickness since puberty, lol, and never eat breakfast. Even plain water will come back up if I drink it too soon.

    Up at 5:45, do my cardio downstairs then hit the shower. After that I can stomach a cup of black coffee.

    I don't eat until I get to work, amost 3 hours after I get out of bed, and then it's a Quest bar or a Fiber1.

    Wake up, do bathroom stuff, eat breakfast, go gym. Mornings are quiet at the gym, no annoying kids, only serious people go workout in the morning.

    I was up at 4.30am today for a 5am gym circuit class :)

    I have 1/2 a quest bar and a pre workout before.

    I wake up between 5:30-6 and start working out by 6:30am at the latest (in my basement). I don't eat anything first, although I do drink nearly a liter of water by the time I'm done :) As soon as I'm finished exercising, I drink a chocolate protein shake made with kefir. I then eat breakfast a couple of hours later (9:30), which consists of a fried egg, a piece of fruit and either oatmeal or bacon.

After the gym its full breakfast time.

    I tried to workout at 6 am - usually i get up at 6:40- but i just couldn't stop yawning and my performance was very weak.
    I really want to wokrout in the mornings before my son wakes up for daycare, just my body is still in a deep sleep.

    I work out at 5 AM twice a week. I don't go to a gym to do it, as I have my own lifting equipment at home, but I eat afterward. I make a protein shake to drink on my way to work at around 7:30 and then I eat my oatmeal in my office around 8:30. Yes, it takes me a solid hour-and-a-half to get ready for work after my hour workout.

    I wake up at 5am and head to the gym. I don't eat before I work out, but I do take 2 "Zoom Chews" (energy chews) from GNC.

    I literally get up at 5 a.m. get my workout clothes on and go to the gym, does anyone else do this? If so do you eat before, and if you do what do you eat? On the weekends I normally eat some carbs before but I normally go to the gym later in the day.

    I get up at 5 on MWF to swim. I don't eat before I swim because the flip turns make me want to hurl if I do. Consequently, I go home and eat breakfast (Greek yogurt with high protein cereal mixed in or 1/2 bagel and egg or banana and peanut butter).

    I wake up at 5 a.m. And work out at home. I don't eat anything until after I'm done working out, then I have a protein shake. After I get to work, I eat breakfast around 7:30 a.m..

    I am up at 5:15 and at the gym by 5:30 for about an hour workout (give or take). I have one of those 50 calorie unsweetened applesauce cups before I go along with my vitamins... works great for me! I have also done half a banana or a couple of almonds at times.

    My workouts first thing in the morning are pathetic. No energy to push it through. When I work out at midday I crush it.
