How long after a meal can you actually take something that says you should take on an empty stomach? such as a lot of pre workouts .. and in my case X-Factor , I have read it is best to take on an empty stomach ... so how much time is enough? I had chicken with rice and peas and fries ... an hour and a half would be considered good?

It's going to vary. Google "food digestion times" to get a rough estimate. Carbs generally pass through the stomach faster than proteins, and proteins faster than fats.
So 3-4 hours like others said sounds about right. It won't be fully digested ofc as someone said, but it should be out of your stomach or close by then.

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon
