Among all the options i can give you, here is my best:
If you can get up at least 2 hours before your workout, you have time to eat a full meal and have it leave your stomach. But if that’s not possible, you should try to drink something easily digestible about 20 to 30 minutes before your workout. Choose a high carbohydrate, low fat liquid, like fruit juice, fat-free milk, a low fat shake, or a sports drink. Aim for 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrate for 30 to 60 minutes of exercise. People who are larger or who exercise more vigorously need more carbohydrate. After your workout, eat a meal within 60 minutes.

Something with high carbohydrates. Try toast or pancakes. I used to just drink protien meal replacements back in the day myself.

I like something high in complex carbohydrates, like a big bowl of oatmeal, for energy. Protein is great for after the workout to help rebuild the muscle tissue that gets broken down during the workout.
