For a few reasons, actually.

1. He is NOT a morning person, and getting up at 4:45AM does NOT make him
happy as it is. He, like me, cannot "leap out of bed to greet the morning"
and eat right away; he has to wake up for a while first.

2. He doesn't want to throw up. They often do some really strenuous
stuff, and his command specifically tells them not to eat first.

3. If he exercises first and eats after, he feels better than if he did it
the other way around.

4. Eating after exercise gives him a little something to look forward
to...and he won't be "starving" by lunchtime -- because PT can take up to 2
hours, meaning that if he eats before he goes to PT, he won't have anything
else to eat for another 5 hours or so...and for him, not eating after all
that stress/strenuous activity makes him feel sick.
