Do you burn more fat when you exercise with an empty stomach?

Let's see. If you eat too much before exercising, you might get stomach cramps and gas. But if you don't eat enough, you may fall out due to lack of energy and you won't optimize your fat burning.

SUGGESTION: Eat a healthy meal first. Then give yourself enough time before excercising.

You need energy to burn energy.

Exercising with food in the stomach will interfere with digestion, it is best to exercise before a meal. There is probably little relationship between fat burned and the amount of food in the stomach. However, exercising with food in the stomach is uncomfortable, and might cause you to work less in your work out, thereby causing less calories to be burned.

No. Your body needs fuel for the exercise, which you get from food intake. If you exercise on an empty stomach, your body goes directly to your muscle for fuel, rather than fat.

Eating before exercising also boosts your metabolism, which will indeed help you lose fat. Eating about an hour before exercise is ideal, while consuming complex carbs, such as those found in fruits (especially apples) and whole grain pasta/bread.

It would actually be harder for you to burn more fat with not the proper nutrition in your system, because you body will store all the fat and use it to feed itself.

Well, if you have no immediate fuel in your fuel tank(stomach and digestive system) then your body is designed to go for the back-up stored fuel locked up in your fat cells. So in theory yes you could lose weight quicker by regularly exercising on a empty stomach.

Yes, exercising on an empty stomach allows for maximal fat burning, but it also causes maximal muscle loss.

Yes.

Absolutely....... your body will call on reserves as long as you are not starving yourself.
In the morning after a good nights sleep is the best - you'll be burning HEAPS - good luck

exercise should be done 1 hour after a light meal,digestion requires more blood supplies to be concentrated on the digestive system and exercise requires the blood supply for the muscles.

My Doctor, Steven Flannagan, suggests a big meal of chicken tenders before working out. The simple enzymes in the batter help kick-start your bodies metabolism for optimal fat burning. Dipping the chicken tendres in a spicy BBQ sauce will help give your body just the right amount of sugars for burning also. He strongly suggests drinking a quart of milk an hour before heavy exercise. The molecular make-up of milk reacts well with blood cells to provide more oxygen to the body. Good luck!
