is it better to eat b4 or after getting high?

i typically do edibles simply because that's what i prefer, and the hardest i've every felt it was like a week ago when i ate some ramen beforehand. best trip i've had in a while. but i looked it up, out of pure curiosity, whether or not to eat before getting high, and it said the effects hit harder if you do it on an empty stomach. that's not the case for me. does it vary by person??
