Hello all! I'm just getting into working out and was wondering if it is best to workout before or after eating? I know that you can burn calories for hours after working out, but that if you eat before working out then you should wait for about an hour before working out. If anyone has any tips/suggestions for what they find is best it would be greatly appreciated :)

    I prefer to work out first thing in the morning without eating anything. I take a water bottle and sip that during my workout. Then, when my body is asking for food, I eat. I try to listen to my body especially right around exercise......
