Do you burn more fat when you exercise first then eat breakfast or do you burn more fat when you eat breakfast first and then exercise?

Answer 1

Yes. Typically if you are trying to lose weight you should work out on an empty stomach so that your body uses your fat for energy rather than the food that is sitting in your stomach. If you must have a little something before you do your workout to wake yourself up a bit, have a whole wheat cracker and a little bit of water first. But do not eat a full meal until after you've finished working out. And make sure your meal has proteins, fiber and carbs together.

Answer 2

where did you hear that? Absolutly the other way around. dont exercise without eating a light snack before, especially in the morning. You will loose more weight if you eat a piece of peanut butter toast before you hit the gym than if you dont eat before, thit is just unhealthy, and you wont have any energy to work out to your full potential. Eating constantly, every 2 hours at least will also help you loose weight, if you eat small portions. It will boost your matabolism and make you feel better thought the day, trust me.

Answer 3

There is no evidence to suggest that when you eat in relation to when you exercise matters one iota with regard to calorie burning. However, consider this:

If you eat breakfast and work out shortly thereafter, you may develop cramps, which could end your workout prematurely, at worst, or limit your ability to work at your maximum level, at best. (This is particularly true if your workout is aerobic.) On the other hand, working out in the morning on an empty stomach can lead to nausea and even vomiting, at worst, or diminished workout effectiveness, at best. (This is particularly true if your workout is strenuous or anaerobic.)

I was told by a nutritionist that our bodies are designed to eat every 3-4 hours. We sleep on average 6-8 hours a night, so when you wake up your body is "starving." When you wait all day to eat, your body will naturally store the fat from that food because it doesn't "know when it will eat again." This is also why we tend to have snack cravings only a few hours after we have eaten. It is better to eat six small meals a day.
