I know some people can't eat before they work out, but I suggest you eat before it or immediately afterwards. I eat a small bowl of oatmeal, raisins and walnuts every morning within a half hour of waking up, which means before my workout on those days. If I don't eat, I run out of fuel during my workout, and I'm so hungry after that I eat too much.

I heard an "expert" say once that eating within an hour of arising stokes up your metabolism and pays off all day. There's a good reason it's called "break-fast".
