I'm hoping to start going running in the morning before I go to school but I don't want to run on an emty stomach, so I was wandering what I should eat before my run in the morning, keeping in mind that I'll be eating again after the run?

Thanks for any help!
 
If I'm going for a run before school, I usually eat a banana before the run, then oatmeal after.
 
yah a banana or an orange is a good idea for the potassium just dont make the mistake of drinking any kind of fruit juice only water
 
yah you make a good point, if depends on if your running at high intensity and also depends on if your cutting, bulking or mantaining for example when I run i run for 30min and i get alittle over 5 miles in that so its pretty hard and im cutting so it wouldnt be a good idea for me to run on an empty stomach because i would primarily be using glycogen as an energy store (muscle) and since im consuming cals at a defecit i would probably lose muscle, if your trying to mantain it wont matter for the most part because your body will replenish what you've lost. however if your gonna run 3 miles at 8/9 min a mile then you dont have to worry at all and piece of fruit will sufice
 
no sugary foods or protein snacks as they will inhibit fat loss.
