Agreed. If it's an endurance class, I don't eat closer than 2.5 hours prior to the exercise - you don't want the body using its valuable stores of energy digesting food while you need that same energy to get you through a workout. Complex carbs are it for me. Unless you are doing a triathlon or something, I don't see the need to ingest bananas, dates or raisins, although various sports drinks can be taken.
If it is a more weight training workout, you can eat 90 minutes before-hand, and you don't need to focus as much on the complex carbs.
As for burning calories - I doubt you're burning 1500 calories in an hour. That would be an incredible work rate.
