If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to have breakfast. That may mean eating at least an hour before your workout so you're well-fueled. If you don't eat, you may feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise. If you plan to work out within an hour after breakfast, eat a lighter meal or have something such as a sports drink.   Need practical advice on diet and exercise?
