    I've always heard run fasted for weight loss and after a (light) meal for performance, but that may just be broscience, idk.
    I personally have a couple of eggs and a cup of coffee about 30 minutes before running.

    I had to research that because of taking kids to sports. Somewhere I heard give them an hour before activity.

    Breakfast keep nice and simple

    Egg whites with spinach (make into omelette) splash of balsamic vinegar

    And small serving of oats with water and a sprinkle of cinammon - start with 30g of oats and monitor weight : progress in the mirror

    This will ensure blood glucose levels stay stable and save an insulin spike which would lead to possible fat gain from sugar storage.
