If you are going to eat before you work out, I would eat something light. Everyone I have talked to says you should eat after working out though. Once, I ate a full meal before working out and I was sick for the rest of the night.

Whether you're engaging in aerobic or anaerobic activity, foods rich in complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain pasta, rice, and bread, and fruits and vegetables, are the best sources of energy. About 30 to 60 minutes before your workout, eat a small, easily digested meal composed of complex carbs. You will train longer and harder and you won't experience low blood sugar jitters and dizziness. Also, avoid simple sugars, such as candy, up to 60 minutes before working out because they can lead to low blood sugar levels during exercise.
Hydrate your body. Most people don't drink enough water when they exercise. Water is an essential nutrient that is critical for optimal physical performance, resistance to injury, and maintenance of normal body temperature. Drink large quantities of water (20 ounces) one or two hours before exercising to hyperhydrate your body and allow enough time for adequate hydration and urination.

While you are working out your stomach stops processing food.
So it's best to eat after a work out.

Eat before.
That way you burn off what you just ate.
