Eating and Exercise - Timing it Right

Although most endurance athletes know the importance of fueling-up with carbs (while leaving enough time to digest before exercise), and replenishing with carbs and protein right after exercise, the average person could probably benefit from the same approach to their regular workouts (I'm sure many people still work out before breakfast).
