Should I eat breakfast before weightlifting?

Is it necessary to eat before a morning lifting session? I want to get the workout in early as the first part of my day and from what I’ve experienced in the past it takes almost an hour to digest the food after eating, but I don’t want to go into the workout with not enough fuel either. Just curious as to what you recommend. Thank you.

It’s a good idea to have at least a little something, yes, unless you are used to weightlifting fasted. You can have half meal one before lifting, then your post workout meal after lifting and the rest o your meal one, or just the post-workout meal and the rest of your meal one a few hours after your post-workout meal. I hope this helps!
Yes that does help, thank you. Would it also be an option to only have the protein shake before working out in the morning?
That’s fine too, just as long as you have something in your system 🙂
