I prefer to just drink water then exercises. But if you must eat first, something light like whole grain high fiber toast with avacado.

I start my day with cottage cheese for a high protein fix right after waking. I suggest seasoning with salt and pepper. Sometimes I also have a piece of fruit, but usually I’m just not very hungry, so I prioritize the cottage cheese over the fruit.

I think the healthy breakfast options are : fruits eggs maybe vegetables Before exercising it’s good to take fruits and maybe cottage cheese yogurt I need to check sites on this subject

Porridge is my go to breakfast. I can add extra nuts or chia, add various type of milk... make is sweeter. Very good all year round!

I usually have something light before exercising like nuts or something but then have my big breakfast after. I usually have porridge or avocado and eggs on toast with some veg- sometimes with salmon. But if I do eat before a workout I wait for an hour to make sure my food has settled

Protein! Hard boiled or poached eggs are better than fried. If breakfast is hard a protein shake can be a good option. Or even just a slice or two of deli meat. Avoid sugary breakfasts they will make you crash :(

I’ve been eating a bowl of one whole sliced banana (just using the same spoon I’ll eat with), a couple handfuls of blueberries, a generous pinch or two of toasted granola, and almond milk poured over it all this past week. It feels filling and refreshing, I don’t work out in the mornings before work, but I don’t feel this would make me overly full that it would be uncomfortable to work out, but the banana and almond milk give enough substance that I’d be able to do a moderate workout without feeling light headed.

I don’t tend to eat before my morning workout but after I finish and have taken a shower I eat oatmeal with fruit and nuts

I normally have a banana to fill me up. If I’m going to the gym after lunch I will normally have some rice and falafel for a slow burn. 👌
