Don’t enter a workout hungry. If you start exercising in an energy deficit, your body is likely to preserve fat and perform poorly. If you tend to bonk out midway through a hard session, low energy may be the culprit. Quick absorbing carbs with a high glycemic index will give you fast fuel. So before a tough workout, have a sports drink, juice, fruit, bread or pasta to take in some calories.

I guess this writer has never heard of rebound hypoglycemia? High GI carbs within an hour of any workout should NOT be ingested.
If you want to get technical. The Thermic affect of food does in fact increase with moderate exercise following a meal. Although, in the end of the day. It all comes down to
calories in
calories out.
Just keep track of your calorie intake and don't put much though into this matter. Do whats best for you and your time availability.
