Individuals burn more fat when exercising on an empty stomach. However, burning more fat is not equivalent to losing body fat and hence getting leaner. 🧘♀️
To lose body fat a negative calorie deficit needs to be created throughout the day📝. It doesn’t matter if you burn carbohydrates or fat during exercise.
The reality is that your body is able exercise harder, burn more calories and potentially lose more body fat if you fuel ⛽️ before exercising with a meal or snack 🍌.
Why affect optimal training performance by exercising on no fuel? 🤷♀️
Eating less at the end of the day to create a calorie deficit before going to bed 🛌 – allows for weight loss while sleeping 💤 instead of when exercising ⛷.
So next time anyone tells you to exercise on an empty stomach to burn more fat; you now know better.
