Probably a light meal would be better

give your body 1 hour to digest and refresh after you eat before you hit the gym...after your workout you should really take in some protein to grow, repair, your muscles...optimal time is right after you workout to 45 mins...and if you really wanna get good gains add in L-glutamine with the protein. That is if you are having protein shakes (if you like chocolate, get Muscle Milk choc. Milk)

After definitly

You should eat approx an hour before your workout, a mix of protein and carbs, and you should also eat a mix of protein and carbs immediately after your workout, for example a protein shake, oats and a piece of fruit.
