Yes it is important to eat prior to exercise as they help to sustain the activity without fatiguing. Glucose is the preferred energy source for most exercise. Try to have a large carbohydrate meal 4 hours prior to exercise and another small meal 1-2 hours before exercise. Pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as pasta, fruits, breads, energy bars and drinks.
