Also, it depends on what exactly you eat and your nutrition strategy. If that is a classic diet with foods with high protein levels and low sugar content for recovery… 2 hours is optimal.
If you are on a low-carb diet and your next meal is hours away, then eating an hour before the training session might be the best choice.
A few years ago I was on vacation in Andorra and couldn’t get enough energy till the training sessions even I didn’t change my nutrition or time frame of two hours prior to exercise. Still don’t get why. Solved accidentally adding some small amount of honey with water, they had everywhere in the hotel some local honey ‘Le Souffle d’Adore’. That helped to recover my energy and work rate.
