Nope. According to registered dietician Karen Brewton in a recent Oxy magazine article, you need to eat something 30 minutes before heading to the gym. At least a little something like a breakfast bar or yogurt. If you exercise in the morning, you'll need a light breakfast first. And if you work out after work, make sure you get something in your system if it's been five or more hours since lunch. Plus, breakfast gets your metabolism going. Don't skip it!
