Is it Better to Workout in the Morning or Afternoon?

I've always been accustomed to working out in the afternoon since I often had sports practices in the afternoon in high school, and also since I'm not much of a morning person.  I've found that as I grow older, I am becoming more and more of a morning person.  I, now, work out either early in the morning or in the afternoon, depending on my schedule for that particular day.  This got me to wonder - what time of day is best to work out?  When would I burn the most calories?  I did a little research and found that there are benefits to both times.

Early-risers
Pros: Working out in the morning can kick-start your metabolism - especially if you strength train.  This allows you to burn more calories throughout the rest of the day.

Cons: Since you're just getting out of bed, it is likely that your body isn't quite awake - even if you are.  Your muscles can be rigid.  Try starting out with some light walking or stretching to get your body ready to go full force.  Also, your body needs fuel.  Try eating a light snack or piece of fruit before your workout so your body has something to work off of.  Then, within an hour after your workout, replenish your body with some protein to replenish and rebuild your muscles.

Late-workers
Pros: It has been studied that your body's temperature peaks around 2 or 4 in the afternoon, allowing your muscles to be more pliable.  This helps you to work at your best performing time with a lower chance of injury.

Cons: Working out too close to bed might make it difficult for you to get a good night's sleep.  As you go through your day and realize how much you have to do, it may be easier for working out to be moved to the low end of the totem pole.  You may also be too tired to workout, making it more likely for you to skip it altogether.

After reading the positives of both times of day, I decided to stay with my early morning workouts.  What time do you workout?  Comment below!
