I eat a banana with peanut butter before a workout (about 30 minutes out) and more if it's going to last longer than an hour. Perhaps you are not taking in enough calories as a whole or not getting enough complex proteins? Sometimes, when we are trying to lose weight, we don't realize exactly how much we do need to injest in order for our bodies to function, much less workout as much as you do.

This is a calculator to give you an estimate of how much you should be taking in. Give it a shot, to make sure that's not the issue.
