So the first question I would like to respond to is how much food is an appropriate amount to eat before meditation?

It's good to eat a small amount.

Since you have to sit for a while,

In a rigid position and posture,

That's not really conducive to digestion.

I suggest you eat around a third of what you usually eat.

And I also suggest that you wait at least an hour after your last meal before you start meditation.
