Jogging before or after meals doesn't really affect the number of calories burnt. As long as you go for the same distance/speed/time, then you burn the same number of calories.

I prefer to jog before meals, for other reasons:

1. It takes me a while to digest food, and I don't like jogging with food in my stomach.

2. I'm training for a long-distance race, and jogging "on empty" trains my body to cope when I'm low on fuel.

But you might find you have more energy to run after eating. If that means you can go faster and for longer, thus burning more calories, then you should totally do it that way instead.

Good luck!
