I usually work out at the gym 4 or 5 times a week, I go by my personal regime that my fitness instructor made. Recently, and I mean in the last week, I haven't really been hungry so I haven't eaten as much. Today I only had a small bowl of cereal and when I went to the gym I felt faint and really tired really easily, now I know it's obvious that I need more energy, but is it really damaging to my body to work out on an empty stomach?

Grey's Anatomy fan! woo.

Yeah.

Yes.

Muscle won't grow, your body will actually consume muscle for energy.

^That.

I recommend 2 servings of low sugar fruit
2 servings of probiotics
2 large servings of fibrous veggies
2 fair sized servings of protein with how often you go to the gym.
8 eight oz glasses of water

PER DAY.

Very much so. Start eating a lot more.

Of course its bad to go to gym on an empty stomach(at least for the guys ) ).
No but really, eat something about 1 hour before you go to gym so you have enough energy. Dont eat too much(im thinking your not lifting weights ) but you gotta eat something.
Even if you are not hungry, you gotta eat. And drink water, while and while you are not working out.

P.S.: From my personal experience, i have much better workouts when i eat.

yeah. just eat abit even if you arent hungry

You gotta eat, especially if you are working out.
