Well I always found its not a good idea to eat much a fair while before working out, but then I eat a ton of bananas for breakfast everyday (along with milk and a big dollop of protein powder) but just dont eat anything too heavy as I always found it made it harder to do weights.
I obviously bow to wrecks obsessive knowledge, I was just saying what works for me. Defintely do the protein thang though, thats what builds muscle.
