But then there is the problem of breakfast.

Do youhaveto eat breakfast before a workout?

No, but it helps.

Some people find fasted workouts to be harder than ones where theyve eaten beforehand.

In that case, do whatever you prefer.

Long workouts, especially those lasting more than 90 minutes.

Any workout after which you tend to feel unusually tired, which may include heavy strength training.

In that case, your choice of food matters more.

What is the best thing to eat?

Carbs provide quick energy, especially if you eat them in a form that your body can process quickly.

In other words, this is different from what would normally look like a healthy meal.

Youll have time after your workout for something that digests a little slower.

But if you have to eat immediately before a workout, go with something thats mainly carbs.

Experiment to see what hits the sweet spot in between carb-y and tasty.

What if I dont want to eat carbs?

Thats up to you, but ensure youre aware of the potential effects on your workout.

Again, a small snack may help you have more energy for your workout without totally derailing your diet.

Sometimes people train fasted on purpose because it burns fat, but thats only true on a technicality.

Choosing one payment method versus another doesnt make me any richer.

What if I cant eat first thing in the morning?

There are a few solutions to this problem.

But theres usuallysomethingyou can eat, if you want to.

If you truly cant eat before the workout, can you eat during it?

Long workouts can benefit from intra-workout nutrition.

If you run, grab some of thosegel packets that marathoners and endurance cyclists useduring races.

If you lift, mix up a shake and bring it with you to sip between sets.

Ultimately, the best breakfast is one you only discover from experience.

Experiment and see what works for you.
