Make it a practice to eat large meals at least three to 4 hours before working out. If you have a smaller sized meal, you can work out two to 3 hours after eating. Light snacks are typically fine when eaten right before and even during exercise.
It's better to exercise vigorously before you eat. Never do it afterwards. Yet, I was at a Health Spa (read: Adult Fat Camp!), and they always made us schedule in time for a 30 minute walk after the lunch/dinner hour. You would have your meal, sit around and gab for awhile with the other inmates, and then everyone would be out walking. Mind you, PRIOR to the meals we also were working out.
