I work until 5p.m. then make dinner. When is a good time for me to exercise,before or after dinner?

I am starting to exercise and I don't get home from work until 5p.m. Then I have to make dinner for the family so when is the best time for me to exercise..before dinner or after?
During the summer when it is nice long days, i'd say after, approximently 7 or 8 so you can digest your meal, for myself i generally go before dinner, however sometimes i'm so hungry and don't get the best workout in, so i try to eat a banana or an apple if i'm in that situation before my workout (something light otherwise you won't feel so well)
hey, are you exercising to try and lose weight, like a diet, or just because you want to get fit? well my advice would be to exercise before dinner. If you exercise before dinner then your metabolism will rise and burn off the food quicker than it would otherwise. Also, when you exercise, your body changes out of a "fat storage mode," and therefore the sugars and fats you consume will not be absorbed into your bloodstream as easily. Exercising up to 12 hours before a meal is the best way to stay in shape. This is why so many people exercise in the mornings, so that their daily food consumption won't affect their body shape as easily. And if your not wanting to lose weight, i would still recommend eating before dinner, because after dinner you will be full and probably not in the mood to exercise. Therefore, you will probably find yourself skipping your exercise regime frequently. Good luck! By the way, this is a researched answer, I just didn't list the sources because for some reason firefox isn't displaying the URL's. But google it and you'll see for yourself. Other weight loss tips include:

Eat vinegar before food.
Lowest carbohydrates is good.
Caffeine isn’t good before meals, but however, it is good away from meals.
Fruit and eggs are good.
Chromium Picolinate is good. 400mg.
Exercise is best done 12 hours before food.
Phaseolus Vulgaris is good. 1500mg.

Natural, unartificial foods are good.
Metamucil / laxatives is good for lessening fat storage.

Hope i helped :-)
after that way you can burn off the excess calories
