I agree... I always eat before exercising.
I would, however, caution on a carb-heavy meal pre-workout. Studies have shown:
1) Consuming carbs pre-workout reduces the fat burned during workout.
2) Consuming protein pre-workout helps preserve muscle protein during exercise.
3) Consuming carbs pre-workout restrains growth hormone release.
4) Carbs elevate serotonin which increases exercise-related fatigue.
5) Higher fat meal will allow more free fatty acids for muscles, and will increase intramuscular triglyceride levels.
All this stuff is from the best book out there: Natural Hormonal Enhancement by Rob Faigin.
