Nah, I eat before every workout. Fuel is mandatory.

About 45 mins to an hour before but when I get there I have a protein bar before I lift.

What are you eating? 2 hours is my absolute cutoff, prefer not to eat within 3, days and why i prefer morning workouts, but what you eat makes a big difference. Keep it really simple, don’t do things with too much fiber - veggies fruit - don’t do processed food - protein bars shakes, especially if they have high fiber - and don’t do heavy fats like cheese.
Things I can eat in that 2 hour range and not be sick:
- rice cake with pb
- plain Greek yogurt with berries
- oatmeal (can eat a couple egg whites with it or some Greek yogurt)
But I wouldn’t really force it, as long as you’re not getting dizzy during your workouts don’t worry about proper “pre feeding” if you’re generally eating a high quality diet. just focus on good post workout nutrition, your gains will be fine.

I eat oatmeal and toast. Today I had fruit and almonds and got nauseous towards the end of my workout.

Nauseous like bubble guts/upset stomach or weak? If weak, You might not be eating enough looking at what you say you usually eat, get some good (whole food) protein in there

Hmm, ok. Do you feel bad when you eat oatmeal or toast? If not, stick to things like that, maybe add a spoonful of peanut butter with it. Or See if you can try one of your workouts in the morning before you eat. If you feel better, then you just might need a longer cutoff before working out.
I pretty much would never train after eating. Just can't really do it.I actually wait until after
I’m forever impacted by two a day high school football practices and not wanting to throw-up.
Now I usually train so early now I don’t have time to eat anyway.
My boy is like that you probably have a weak stomach like him
Honestly he never really is able to solve this issue
