Nutrition Tips for 5 AM Gym Workouts

[Nanaz]

Hi,
Some days because of my job I have to go to the gym early at 5 a.m. I was wondering what I should eat before my workout and how long before training I should eat so I have enough energy. Also, what time is best to eat dinner?

Please advise

I would try eating 1/2 of your breakfast prior to training and then have your post workout meal and maybe a couple hours after finish your breakfast. I would try and eat 1-2 hours prior to bed. Give your body some time to digest so that digestion doesn’t Interrupt your sleep.

Thanks for your advice! Just to clarify, how long before my workout should I eat that half breakfast?
