Yes, you can eat before an exercise, but make sure it is a small portion and is healthy. You wouldn't want to go eat a cake or chips and then go work out. But salad, fruits, etc. are fine. But just so you don't get a side ache maybe wait 30 min MAX. you don't need to wait that long though, but somewhere around there. Hope this helped:]

Exercising before breakfast will force your body to use fat as fuel, as all easier sources have already been used up during the night.
So it's "good" if fat/weight loss is your main concern.
But turning fat into muscle fuel is a slower process than turning food into muscle fuel, so it's "bad" if you want a real intense workout to gain speed/strength.

Because you haven't eaten since before you went to sleep, you need some energy to keep you going through your exercising. However, you should never work out on a full stomach, because your digestive system shuts down partially while you work out. So, have a light healthy snack, like a piece of fruit or an energy bar, and then eat a real breakfast after you are done exercising.
do not eat right befor you go for a jog. eat domething light (like a banana or half a bagal) around 15-30 min befor and you should be fine. if you are going on a long run i suggest that you consume a product called "Gu" befor you run and while you are running. they have around 100 calories and will help keep your electrolytes up. One ofther thing i sugges is that you drink "Cyto-Max" (made by Cyto-Sport) instead of gaterade. it dose the same thing for you as gaterade but is somewhat better for you. you can find both of these products at GNC.
