RE: need energy for workouts...
First of all, your breakfast shouldn't be bacon and eggs, biscuits and gravy. LOL You should eat a bowl of oatmeal, or two pieces of wheat toast with a little peanut butter spread, or a protein shake with liquid egg whites. Any of those will give you a good start. You should finish your meal between 30 - 45 minutes before you begin working out. Remember to drink water while training. Keep hyderated and you should feel fine.
