Eating for weight training/Cardio | Thread profile

I have a question about eating properly and the correct amounts of food to fuel your body to intense workouts. I know if I dont have a balanced meal of carbs to proteins to fat before my workout I hit lactic thrush, or my glycogen bottoms out and I get severely sick and light headed. When you have the lap band, you can't eat enough food before a workout so your fueled properly, how do you ...
