What do I eat if I workout first thing in the morning?

Q: You said to eat breakfast soon after getting up.  But what if you’re working out in the early morning?  I was always told not to eat much before my workouts.

JJ: Here’s the deal – if you are rolling out of bed and heading out to workout then either go on empty if you can pull it off –OR have a mini meal – I do a Designs for Health Dairy Free Chocolate Almond PaleoBar and then when you come back have your Meal Replacement Shake-I use DFH PaleoMeal DF.  You can eat a small protein-carb snack prior to working out, it will give you more energy, but too much food will sit in your stomach. You only have so much blood to work with and you want it going to your working muscles not working on digestion.
