Eating before you workout is essential. Here are a few good pre workout meals for you to try!

1 hardboiled egg
1 slice whole grain toast
1 tsp butter
1 Tbsp honey or jam
1 piece of fruit (apple, plum, banana)
8 oz glass water

On your way to the gym, consider eating a piece of fruit such as an apple or plum. They give you enough carbs to give you energy and get you going. A few raisins and nuts is good as well. Raisins give you immediate energy, and nuts make you feel satisfied.
When eating a full meal, it is best to eat your pre workout meal about 3 hours before your workout. Your pre workout meal should be low in fat and fiber. You want something that is easily digestible.
Always eat before your workout. By not doing so, when you train your body will begin to burn muscle tissue, because after you burn your stored fat, muscle is next!
