I was wondering how long you should wait after eating a meal before you can start working out? What duration would be most optimal?

When you can go and perform your workout with enthusiasm lol. I wait 20-30 mins just to let the food settle but thats usually chicken and rice. If I had a big azz cheese burger and fries, I might need to wait a little longer. There is no official reccomendation so far as I know since there are so many variables.

those who fast will probably know that it takes a lot of time to digest.''

all food should have left the stomach within 2 to 4 hours
that's almost for 100% digestion.
food takes energy out of the body if you don't wait several hours,your perfomance won't be the same.
you haven't felt the sleepiness after eating the last meal doing fasting :P

I must stongly disagree. I have perfomed heavy lifts 45 minutes after eating and noticed no difference as compared to not having eaten for about 3 hours. Your body only knows cals in and out...outside of having a full stomach making squats, DL's uncomfortable once when I went immediatly after a big meal, I would be hard pressed to believe that waiting 2 -4 hours would give any noticable difference in performance.
