Need some help

Now this is the biggest concern running through my mind -
all my workouts have been toward the end of the day and I have had sufficient calories and hydration throughout the day...
i don't get hungry and very littel dehydration during the workout
i know that will not be the case at 7am
so what do i do?

and i need to stay away from the processed stuff - goo etc... generally stuff like that - especially early in the day - makes me nauseus within 5 minutes of eating it - and it lasts about 30 minutes ....

do i go with peanut butter? bananas?
help....

i once puked my way through a half thanks for peanut butter and bananas. not to mention, as i learned one day while watching my calories, bananas are really calorie heavy. i wont touch them anymore.

best thing ever... especially if you don't like eating in the morning before a morning workout. Green's Protein Bar. good amount of carbs/protein/fat. Protein slows the carb burn down. fat helps your body realize it can use that for fuel too. its all natural and has yummy things like quinoa in it. tastes good too. go to whole foods, get a box of it. best thing by far.

if you have the stomach for real food yogurt and muesli mixed in can be good too. that is my breakfast on a race morning. Green's on a training day, yogurt and muesli on race day and the occassional trial run just before racing.

hope it helps.

i will go with the yogurt - protein bars and make beleive type foods don't always sit well
i have a good 3 hours between wheni leave my house and my start time - so i will have time to slwly graze and get some food and hydration in me
i don't want to puke -that would suck
