Eat breakfast before your morning workout

You never want to workout on an empty stomach especially in the morning because you're already at a deficit. Your body burns about 100 calories an hour even while sleeping. So it's important to eat something so you don't get light headed, dizzy and run out of steam. Proper nutrition before your morning workout can make the difference between feeling great or crashing. The key is that you have to go light taking in about two to three hundred calories especially if you're going to work out within an hour of waking up. Simple carbs that are easy to digest, like fruit and orange juice do just fine. You also want to have some protein and fat but not too much because it can take longer to digest. I like a low-fat yogurt with some fresh fruit.
