When I do a show, which includes a minimum of 30 min. cardio (dance), I try to have a small turkey or chicken breast on whole grain bread (no Mayo!) sandwich about 45-min. before. Makes a huge difference in my endurance.

Well said. That was my point. A previous poster said NO food in the stomach. Theoretically, you should be burning more fat because all that is left is the fat in your body. However, that also means you have no energy to go the distance.
