    Usually a banana, or if I'm going to the gym at lunch time I'll have half my lunch about 30 mins before I go (so 45 mins before working out), and then the rest when I get back.

    I do preworkout a protien bar by PURE PROTIEN about an hour before. Sometime I drink Extend during a cardio workout. Extend is a drink that helps you power through your intense cardio.

    An apple and a strong coffee with milk. Carbs, protein + caffeine = super powered workout! :)

    Low fat string cheese, apple with peanut butter, greek yogurt or almonds. Lots of pre-workout water!
