Mars bar before training?

Good or bad?

Sometimes i feel a bit sluggish and eat a mars bars 30 mins before training and am just wondering if this is a bad habit to get into?

Also of doing a long 10 mile + run i stick a mars mini bar in my pocker to eat half way.

Soooooooooo

Not really during a training period, because while it does provide energy it hinders you with your weight. Before a fight, yes, i often eat a small amount of chocolate about an hour before i fight.

It's fine, but if you feel like you're not getting enough energy, just take six or seven Mars bars and put them on a plate. Microwave them for about a minute until they're soft. Pour maple syrup all over them and eat them.

very bad idea imo. if u want something before a workout eat some fruit or a protein shake. a protein bar would be fine too, a candy bar not so much. u shouldnt eat mars bars at all, doing it before and even during a workout is a very bad idea.

Damn!!!!!

Talk about a sugar high - Even though that recommendation may sound good to the sugar fiend, I seroiously doubt it will help anyone during training.

I've been doing the following with great results for years:
16oz. High Protein Ensure & a granola bar. Very effective pre-training meal.
