Easy one first, is it better to eat before or after a workout? How long before/after?

The more complicated one involves types of workout. I'm a follow of the ACE strategy of rotating areas of emphasis on a multiday cycle (I prefer a three day cycle), however that mostly emphasizes strength training. While strength training is a major part of my work out, an equally important part is reduction of my BFI, specifically I want to lose inches off my gut and chin/neck. To the latter end I, obviously, am trying to work more cardio into my routine. Now for the question, does anyone have a recommendation for the best way to integrate more cardio into my strength training regimen? I'm torn between throwing in equal cardio to my strength training every day and going with a small amount of cardio every days and then on a seperate day in the cycle having a primarily cardio day with only light strength training? Anyone feel one is better than the other? Why? Or does anyone have a better suggestion? Why?
