The way it was explained to me by my brother who is a fitness freak, your body uses food in your stomach before it uses the fat it has stored. So if you want to lose weight you need to exercise in the morning before eating since your body has no choice but to use your fat reserves for energy. If you want to maintain weight or build muscle, eat before so your body uses what you just ate for energy instead of what is on your bones.
Personally, if I eat before walking I maintain my weight. If I want to lose weight, the only way for me to do so is to walk first and then eat.
