For those that work out regularly...

I'm interested to know the answers to your question too. I've recently started working out. I'm working out at 9 am this summer during my summer break. I usually get up at 7:00. If I eat, it sits in my stomach like a rock, so I haven't been eating before I go, just drinking a lot of water. I've tried protein bars, Greek yogurt, and a banana.

Before I worked I always worked out in the morning (usually running or a step class or both) and I ate nothing or maybe something like an egg or a banana.

now I work out in the evening -- usually a long hilly walk, or weights and stretching in front of the TV. I don't really pay attention to when or how much I eat...but in general I eat a very light dinner so I don't really have a full stomach or anything.

I workout between at 5:30 in the morning. I don't eat before.

I like to workout late morning/early afternoon.
I eat about an hour before I go, and again when I get home.
I usually workout 1 1/2- 2 hours.

I work out in the late afternoon, usually about 4:00. I've tried the morning but just wound up feeling crappy the rest of the day when I did that. I have a small snack about 2 hours before I work out. If I eat any closer, my GERD really acts up.

We, my husband and kids, usually try to eat an hour before we workout. The trainer DH and DS had told them to not workout on an empty stomach.

I work out daily. I have breakfast about an hour before I start my workout. Breakfast is a bowl of Cheerios and milk. When I get done I have a banana. 

I work out over the lunch hour.  I eat a very light lunch (usually a couple of pieces of string cheese and a few whole grain crackers) about 20 minutes before I start. 

I work out in the afternoon, usually 3ish. During the school year, DS and I go after he comes home from school. I am not a morning workout person and never have been. I eat a regular lunch at 12, and then have a snack after.

I workout at 10am M-W-F and 8:40pm Tu/Th.

My blood sugar tends to be very low and I am low on iron, so eating before my morning classes can be tricky. I never have coffee before those classes and I found I need to eat my breakfast no earlier than 9:15 or else I process it too fast and do not have enough to sustain me through my very high intensity workouts (I do Krav Cardio & boxing). My two favorite breakfasts are either a Greek yogurt (Fage, with the fruit on the side), with berries and granola on top. Or I take two pieces of bread or toast, spread organic, raw creamed honey on top (so delish!) and top with sliced strawberries. I need the extra sugar and it tastes so good! I start my water with breakfast on those mornings too, so I will be properly hydrated.

Wow, for those of you who can workout on an empty stomach especially in the morning. I have to eat something or I feel sick.

I think it just depends on what works for you. OP.

I work out in the morning, and don't eat beforehand. I usually eat within an hour after working out. If I'm doing a long run and really need to eat before hand, I'll have protein bar or something.
