What is the best meal to eat before a workout?

I have noticed that I have been feeling dizzy if I don't eat anything before a workout, the reason I don't eat before working out is because my Pre Wrokout (Hemo Rage) says it is best when used on an empty stomach.

...so yesterday I was doing (315x10 3 sets and 225x15 2 sets) Deadlifts, and during my last 2 sets I felt really light headed and I threw up, all I had was a banana before working out, because it helps prevents cramps from the PreWorkout

Fresh fruits juices, and protein shakes are the best to take before the workout.
These liquid foods provide enough energy for the workouts and remove tiredness.

Chicken or fish an hour before the workout. BCAAs 15 minutes before along with Glutamin if you want.

Don't worry about the preworkout not working with a full stomach. I used to think the same thing. Carbs and Aminos preworkout gives me way more power than 3 scoops jacked.

I take a gainer shake 60 mins prior and preworkout just before. I feel awesome. No hypoglycemia at all. Amazing pump. Lots of endurance.

I eat a meal an hour or so before my workout then 2 apples on the way to the gym. Works great for me the 2 apples with my pre workout really gives me a boost!

Loads of cinnamon toast crunch with skim milk 1 hour pre workout.
For me it just has to be low fat. And if possible lots of carbs and a bit of protein.

Carbs > Preworkout/caffeine..

My pre and post work out shakes are very similar to warmachine's except I either go with greek yogurt or cottage cheese but not both in the same shake.. and for greens I usually just go with a handful of spinach..

Work outs on just caffeine are CRAP.. load up on some carbs!!

I make a shake before I lift, Its honestly a meal in a cup. But that way I dont feel weighed down while Im lifting.
3 cups reduced fat milk
1/2 banana
1 cup greek yogurt
5 tbs peanut butter
1 scoop macro greens
1 scoop whey
1/2 cup frozen berries
1/2 cup cottage cheese
This is the same shake I have after I lift as well. I ad Honey after my lift though.

Edit: I usually drink a cup or two of black coffee for my pre workout supp.
