Look man, upon waking up your body is depleted of carbohydrates (give your body energy) and protein (building blocks for muscle). If you workout without eating you can pass out. Best thing to do... what I do... I eat breakfast, have a mid morning snack, a protein shake, and then go workout. You don't have to eat as much, but you need to give your body it's nutrients. Also think about this, if you wake up on an empty stomach, and workout, your body will be burning through your muscle because you didn't give it no fuel when you woke up.
Its just advice... do what ever THE FUCK you wanna do.
The way I do it is I eat something simple, not heavy, chew thoroughly, and don't over-eat. That suits as well because one tends to be rather delicate when first waking up. Whole grain cereal with some organic (sugar free) almond milk. Eat stuff like dairy, bacon or eggs in the morning and your digestion will be in knots. Save the extravagance to your next meals. You can always eat sooner if your breakfast wasn't big enough :) I tend to shower after eating, and then I'm good to go.
After breakfast, but before second breakfast! lol. I like to have a small snack before the gym, just something to give me energy like 1-2 bananas or a few oranges. Then when I get home, I'll have a big smoothie, smoothie bowl, or oatmeal waiting for me. I think it's just a matter of finding what works best for you. If I don't eat before a gym session, I don't usually enjoy my workouts as much, but if I eat too much, I feel full and don't want to do much either lol.
Doesn't really matter but you should wait an hour or so after breakfast so you don't get a stitch

If your whole plan is to lose weight, then before breakfast. This is because your body will be using nutrients previously stored in your body such as fat cells.
If you just want to work out to get bigger, do it after breakfast, so you dont break down your cells for energy. Also you will rely on your meal to supply your workout with enough ATP.
Before because when you're full your body is focusing on digesting the food that you just ate and this is just personal preference it just doesn't feel good working out on a full stomach
Since I don't like cramps and throwing up, I eat after I work out. Can't run or do anything with a full stomach.
after breakfast
