Exercising and eating a balanced diet is essential to lead a healthy life. While many people hit the gym after a hectic day at work, others prefer working out in the mornings as they find it more convenient and early morning workouts have their own advantages. However, it is extremely important to keep a few things in mind while working out, including what you should eat right before engaging in some strenuous workouts. Since one needs energy to do the exercises, eating foods that will make you feel energetic is advised. To help you make the right choices, we have made a list:

Starting you day with a bowl of oatmeal is considered to be a healthy choice. According to a report in My Fitness Pal, oats are full of fibre and carbohydrates, thus providing one with a burst of energy.  One can whip it up any way they like — by adding nuts, berries, or yogurt to make it more appetising.
