As the question says, when is it better to eat dinner? Before or after the workout.
I've been eating dinner before workout which would be around 7:00-7:30 pm and my workout session would begin around 9:00-9:30pm. After that I eat a little protein snack, or a banana and take a nice cold shower. By that time I usually feel exhausted and tired, which helps me hit the bed faster and more comfortably.
But recently, I've been looking through the internet and in most workout routines, people workout before eating dinner. Is there a benefit to eating dinner after working out? What are the pros and cons of eating dinner before and after workout?

Would Waffle House be a good option?

There's no noticeable benefit in body composition with eating after working out as opposed to before. Many people do so as part of the "anabolic window" that actually isn't an issue. I personally prefer a meal a couple hours before a workout because I perform better. And then I eat again post workout because I'm hungry and probably won't get to eat again for a while.

For the most part, yes, it's a myth. That's what I was getting at. And the people saying those things that you're reading legitimately believe what they're saying. Problem is, they don't know what they're talking about. It's all hearsay from big guys that have just been doing that forever. Does it work? Yes. Would they look the same if they had totally different eating schedules, but ate the same calorie/macronutrient breakdown in the course of the day? Yep.
