nuts are so you get more fats into your diet. eating before weights is so you have energy to lift a decent amount of weight. fat takes a while for it to oxidise to give energy so you'd want carbs pre workout. pre workout (for me) I have some slow releasing carbs ie oatmeal. cereal (im thinking cornflakes) is quite high GI as it's more processed. yes it doesn't have to be heavy - you want it digested so your body can use it as a source.
