Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking XXXX!
I read your question and i understand your concern. In general, you don’t need to eat or drink as pre work out before exercise unless you tend to run low on energy during your workouts or it's been more than a couple hours since your last full meal. And when you do caffeine or any other stimulant is a bad bad choice for pre workout. That is the reason you get those palpitations and racing heart when you work out due to stimulant properties of caffeine. Avoid it at all.
The best time to eat or drink is about 30 minutes before you begin to exercise, and the best snack is one that combines carbohydrates and protein (with an emphasis on the carbs). And you don't need a lot of food. Protein isn't a fuel for exercise, so you don't want to overdo it. For carbs, aim for the equivalent of a half bagel or a large banana; for protein, consider a couple tablespoons of peanut butter or a small cup of yogurt.
To get both if fresh food isn't an option, look for energy bars with 25 to 40 grams of carbohydrates and about 10 grams of protein. Steer clear of caffeine and warm fluids, which tend to speed food through your intestine, as well as dairy and high-fat or high-fiber foods, all of which can upset your stomach, slow down the absorption of carbs, and leave you feeling sluggish.
You should also stay well hydrated and avoid super-high-calorie snacks because you might end up consuming more calories than you burn off.
Nut shell, caffeine is not even a good idea at it lowest doses not to speak of higher doses of your case of 125 mg. Avoid caffeine as it is not a good pre workout. Read this article it will help you have a better idea of pre workout plans.
