Training in a fasted state is supported by scientific literature and anecdotal experience for fat loss. However, fueling appropriately before a workout can also increase performance and power outputs during the workout, therefore leading to greater returns post-workout.

The very best time to eat depends on the individual and there’s no hard and fast rule it can be variable dependent on age, gender. An early morning trainer might choose to train in a fasted state, while an evening trainer will have obviously consumed food throughout the day and might even plan to eat a specific meal at some time pre workout.
