When does someone who exercises in the morning eat?
There is no single right hour. What decides it is the intensity of the exercise, its length, and how the person adapts to working out hungry or full.
For morning exercise there is no single mealtime that fits everyone. Three things decide it: the intensity of the exercise, its length, and how the person adapts to working out hungry or full. A short, light walk and a long, intense training session do not call for the same preparation; so the question has less to do with the hour than with what that morning's exercise is.
