Before - make sure it's not anything over 100 calories because then it would be difficult to execise since you'de be too full. Aim for carbs!
After - proten, protein, protein! You need to eat because you've just burned so much energy and you need to replenish your body. Have a protein bar or a piece of chicken.

Before a workout- white bread, grapes, a little bit of orange juice
After a workout- protein drinks are king
The reasoning behind this is the effect these foods have on your blood sugar. Before you workout you want to give your body a little bit of sugar to raise the blood sugar level and cause a better fat burning enviornment.
After a workout you will want to do the opposite, since everything in your body is going crazy already from working out you want to give it a quick shot of a slow digesting nutrient (protein) as the blood sugar stabilizes. This will help prevent bodyfat accumulation and keep your hunger levels in check until your next meal.

I would say carrots, or celery or anything vegetable or fruit. Don't even try with soda, sweets, and junk food. All it will do is make you sick and give you even more to work off. :] Hope I helped!

the best foods to eat while you are trying a special workout would be green vegies and fruits like instead of eating things like candy, soada, and other sweet things just eat fruit and also drink alot of WATER
good luck
