If I know that I may be eating a lot on a certain day, will exercising beforehand help burn off the calories I will eventually intake, or is it better to burn off the calories after, once I've eaten?

Is there any difference between exercising before and after I eat and, if so, is one better than the other?

Basically, I see three options:
1) Exercising before I eat
2) Exercising after I eat
3) Exercising before and after I eat

Do they do anything differently while still producing the same results?

    absolutely no difference... one school of thought though says your body will more readily uptake nutrients after your workout...

    but calories make no difference when they are consumed if you are going for a caloric deficiet...
