In the AM: exercise before food/food before exercise?

I think this is one of those things where everyone is different. I can't have so much as a sip of water in the morning before a workout without getting bad stomach cramps, so I workout, shower, get to work, and then eat breakfast. My suggestion is to try both and see what makes you feel best.

If you feel dizzy I think you should eat. I don't eat before working out in the morning because I have the opposite problem- if I eat within an hour of working out I get nauseated and have been known to throw up mid workout. I vote this is one of those everybody's different things

I definitely have to eat SOMETHING before working out, otherwise I find I get dizzy or just crash in the middle of my workout. To reach your full potential during your AM workouts, I would totally recommend eating beforehand.

I usually have a bit of cereal with milk, a yogurt, or coffee and yogurt before mine. Afterwards, more cereal and a protein shake to replenish your body. I find milk is great before a workout too, although don't execrise right after or it might come back up....haha. And it doesn't taste as good then!

I eat after AM workout. I am up at 5am working out and that is just too early for me to eat, especially right before a vigorous workout. I eat breakfast about 30 minutes after the workout.

I eat RIGHT after I exercise. I go to the gym at 5am and trying to eat anything too heavy slows me down and sometimes gives me an upset stomach.

If you feel dizzy, definitely eat something, even if it's light.

Eat something light before your workout. I usually eat yogurt, banana or kashi bar. I do intense workouts though in the morning so if I don't have something to eat I have no energy about half way through.

If you are trying to burn fat / lose weight and can do it on an empty stomach you'll burn stored fat for energy.
The other option is a no calorie or low calorie pre workout supp like Jack3d to give you energy or 1/2 a banana.
But everyone is different.

I agree, I think everyone is different. You have to find what works for you. Personally, I eat breakfast before I workout but I wait about an hour after eating otherwise I get sick. I've found that for me, if I don't eat before my workouts I don't have as much energy

I struggle to eat breakfast at the best of time but more so pre workout - I personally have just started a whey protein mix after my work out and finding it good, although even struggled to get that down. As everyone else says see what you are happiest at and go from there.

I usually just have a banana beforehand. I hate eating first thing in the morning but a piece of fruit is something I can manage to get down without feeling too full right away, and without eating anything at all I always end up getting dizzy 10 minutes into my jog. I eat again after, using the meal for protein and complex carbs. I'm usually a bit hungry by then but not too much, which keeps me from overeating. Plus, there's a power hour of sorts where your body uses the nutrition from the food you eat 2 hrs after a workout more efficiently. I have a friend that does the same thing but with walnuts or a spoon of peanut butter instead of fruit. I personally choose fruit just because I'm hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) but I can see the benefit of a protein boost pre-workout. Her way works for her and mine works for me, you just need to experiment and find out what's best for you 'cause everyone's different.

If you get dizzy working out in the morning without eating, then you need to eat. Don't eat any dairy products, as a personal trainer any client that has gotten sick in the morning has eaten dairy (yougurt, milk, ect.) Try a piece of fruit or a small bar. Think if eating in the morning as a way to jump start your metabolism. Your car needs gas to run, your body needs energy to workout.
