when do u work out...and im guessin your on a bulk....but a good protein shake might do it although be careful about it being too close to working out...some people take a gatorade to give them some energy...if in the morning u could have some oatmeal and fruit etc....many answers...

To be honest, I don't really notice any energy differences at all regardless of what I eat. It's more a matter of what time of day it is. That is if I go in the morning, I'm going to have no energy. If I go any other time, it really doesn't matter. I could have eaten 200 cals or 2000 cals before I go, it's all the same.
I do, however, sip on Gatorade throughout the workout.

You want protein and carbs pre-workout. If I have time to eat I'll have some old fashioned oatmeal and eggs. If I need something quick I have a shake consisting of dextrose and whey protein.

a cup of coffee 15 mins before your workout.

I usually go with Powerbar bites. Pretty good stuff.

Sometimes I have a shake with oats, a banana and some whey. Take it about an hour before working out.

Here's an article that lists the Top 10 foods to eat prior to training. Thought this might help. Originally Posted by ChicagoMob

Some interesting suggestions in that article.
Recently I've taken to eating an apple as my preworkout "meal".

Recently after reading up on it some i've altered my Pre-WO to a good snack with wheatbread peanut butter around 2hrs prior to WO, a banana + starting sipping at a carb drink (cranberry for me) 30mins prior to working out and continuing to drink it thought out and PWO(approx 60-80g carbs + 600ml water total)......Followed by a Shake with L-Glute PWO and a "full" meal around 30mins-1hr later.
I've only been doing this for 1 week now, but seems to be making a differance in my energy levels.... Not sure if its a psychological thing though, so another week or 2 should tell me i hope.
Oh i workout around 7-8pm btw, so not sure if this would be practical for those who do morning workouts..or if it would even work for others.You never know what you can do, until you try to do more than you can.

For me I take 2 scoops of weight gainer, and a banana. During workouts 355mL of gatorade. And post workout another 2 scoops of weight gainer. I have my first shake an hour before and the banana closer within. Lately I have felt very energized during workouts.
