There's  a lot of confusion and questions surrounding pre workout nutrition. Prior to a workout, carbohydrates are essential. Carbs are broken down in your blood stream and provide energy during your workout.

I usually eat 30-60 minutes prior to a strength training session or cardiovascular workout. Here is a list of my favorite pre workout foods:

1. Whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter

2. Banana 

3.  Oatmeal with fresh fruit

4. Greek yogurt with fresh fruit added

5. Low sugar fruit smoothie
