The best pre-workout breakfasts for early sessions

If you train before 8am, the wrong breakfast can wreck your session. Here's what to eat — and what to skip.

The best pre-workout breakfasts for early sessions

Early training is brutal on appetite. The trick is finding food that fuels you without sitting heavy.

Best options: overnight oats with banana, Greek yogurt + honey, protein pancakes, or a small bowl of porridge with berries.

Skip: fatty cooked breakfasts, anything deep-fried, and large portions of dairy if you're sensitive.

Aim to eat 60–90 minutes before training. If that's not possible, a small ready-to-eat option in the car works — keep it carb-led, ~300 kcal.
