What Top Trainers Say You Should Eat Before a Workout

"I always teach in the morning, so what I eat when I wake up is very important to get my body ready for the day. The second I get out of bed, I like to jump start my metabolism and put protein in my body, typically scrambled egg whites, an egg white omelet with turkey and vegetables in it or a protein shake."

—Lisa Niren, head coach at Peloton Cycle
