Well I load water and calories all day. About 30 minutes before I workout I try and drink a glass of milk and eat a large bannana.
Make sure you drink enough water I seriously can't stress that enough. Also try and eat a good bit of calories during the day before. It will help store them cause you'll need em'. I don't know what you're average BPM is with you're weight and muscle mass so its hard to say how much energy you need.
I know for me to run 8 miles it costs me around 2000-2100cals. So if you are worried like I do about getting in the fuel start loading the day before and don't worry about the scale. Main thing is to really eat as often as possible to teach you're body you will never starve it.
When it knows that it will start automatically turning everything you eat into instant fuel. Then when you drink a glass of milk and eat a bannana like I do 15 minutes later you feel a kick. 30 minutes later its ready to be burnt. Depending on gag reflux. I get that sometimes if I loaded a bunch and then go out and run. So be careful of that.
You will have to find where you're personal body's balance lies. Oatmeal mixed with fruits is a great idea(chilmoe is right). I use mostly fruits and milk though for my fuel kick. I back that up with real meats like chicken/fish and some good starches like steamed rice(which I eat alot of). White rice is great fuel for you're workout.
Find out what you can tolerate and what you can't. Feel free to pm me anytime. Its really a trial by error type of process since we are all a little different. For me its prolly been easier than most since I can eat anything i just can't eat alot of it.
Some people can't touch the stuff I use for fuel like steamed rice/fruits/ect.
