As far as timing it really depends entirely on the type and length of training. If you are talking about hours long rides at a slow-moderate pace it doesn't matter all that much, just make sure to get a minimal amount protein before and after so you're not burning up muscle. On the other end for 100% efforts such as intervals or weight training, ideally you would eat an hour before, then immediately after (90% protein, 10% complex carbs). The latter can be tricky if you are trying to loose weight at the same time. Personally I'd keep doing what you are doing until you reach your weight goal, then worry about intervals or timing your meals.
