Enjoying a balanced and healthy breakfast before you go the gym first thing in the morning is important if you want to have enough energy for exercising. Here are some light breakfast ideas that will provide you with energy but won’t weigh you down before a workout.

Toast

Toast is a classic breakfast dish that may seem a bit boring but it’s completely customizable and it won’t weigh you down first thing in the morning. Combine whole-grain bread with peanut butter, jam, or avocados to make a tasty breakfast.

Fruit

Fruit is great for boosting energy levels before a workout because it’s packed with carbs and also very easy to digest. That’s why you can grab a banana or an apple in the morning or you can enjoy a tasty smoothie on your way to the gym.

Frittata

There are plenty of ways to enjoy eggs for breakfast but you can try eating a small egg frittata with some cheese instead of plain old scrambled eggs.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is also a classic breakfast that you can easily enjoy before a morning workout. Add fresh fruit, non-fat yogurt and some nuts to oatmeal in order to fuel your body in the morning.
