Should one eat before or after exercise?!

Question: I am doing a walking program and was wondering if eating something before would have any harm? It is a small meal nothing heavy.

I was told by a personal trainer to eat a small meal/snack about 1/2 - 45 minutes before you work out. Food gives you energy and you need it to keep going....so you don't crash after your work out. And drink lots of water after working out.

after...food gets burned more easily

Afterwards.

Always before. You need fuel to burn--can't run on empty!

eat an hour before to provide fuel for your body,and eat high protein immediately after to provide nourishment to your muscles,SO BOTH
