Exercise after eating or before?

Generally, in the morning after I walk, I go home drink my coffee and eat my breakfast. At night, I eat my dinner, let it settle a bit, then go for an evening walk. I was just…

How was "food tracking" for you?
I just decided today that I would use the food tracking on here. So I put in the food for yesterday and now I have started with today. As of right now I am over the calories they said I should have.
