Want a better workout? Eat breakfast!

By Mayo Clinic Staff

If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to eat breakfast. That may mean eating at least an hour before your workout. Be well-fueled going into a workout. If you don't eat, you may feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise. If you plan to exercise within an hour after breakfast, eat a lighter breakfast or drink something such as a sports drink.
