What to Eat Before and After a Workout

I think a lot of common misconceptions and confusion come into play as far as what we should be eating before and after a workout. I always feel as though I should go workout right when I wake up, before I eat, so that my body will burn off more fat and not burn off solely what I ate. But I don't know that that's the best thing to do or the healthiest. Then of course after my workout I'm usually always hungry but don't know what to eat or feel like I should wait so that I don't negate the whole workout I just did. I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way or have your own logic on what you think is best. I found this video which I really liked because it clears up some of the confusion about eating pre and post workout. The woman in the video is a personal trainer and has a lot of experience under her belt and I always like to hear tips from people who more than likely know what they're talking about. I also like that she doesn't just say that its okay to eat or doesn't just say what types of things to eat but rather gives examples of specific foods you can put together for the perfect before and after meal/snack. I hope you find the video helpful as well!
