Working out on an empty stomach is at the top of the list of workout don'ts! Not only will you not have any energy to get you through the workout, but you'll most likely end up fainting. Eating something will not only prevent you from being hungry while you exercise (helping you to focus your complaints on how many lunges your trainer is making you do this week), it will also help prevent low blood sugar and up your muscle and liver carbohydrate reserves. You will have more energy to sustain your workout and less likelihood of feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or disoriented.
Skip candy and other treats, heavy foods, and big portions so you don't feel bloated when working out. Instead, choose snacks that are low in fat and fiber, low in simple sugars, and high in carbohydrates. These foods will digest quickly and prepare your body to really work and get the most benefits from your workout regime.
