Does exercise in the morning on an empty stomach burn fat or muscle?

I've asked a lot of people, some are aganist it, saying the body doesn't have any fuel without breakfast and burns muscle, but some tell me it works and burns fat. Which one is it?

Answers:
I just read an article in MORE magazine, I'll quot it for you:

"Break a sweat at 6:00PM. Body temperature is still getting higher, so your joints are more flexible, your muscles can produce more force and your cardiovascular system is more efficient. That means you will get more out of exercise now and enjoy it more too."

Hope this helps you!

You need to eat before working out. The body will burn fat either way, but it will also eat into existing muscle without a proper store of energy.

Hey..it is said by so called experts that in hte morning before eating anything..meaning when you wake up, your body is low in glucose since it utilised energy the whole night and there is no more food in your body. If you exercise then, it is more likelythat what you burn is fat since there is little or no glucose in the blood.

Now this sounds good and tempting but i do not know how true is that. But from personal experience I can tell you that it is intitally difficult to get yourself going forst thing in the morning and especially without food. But if you can then there is no harm. It is good to eat something very light and high in glycemic value such as maybe raisins or even bananas about 30 min before you exercise.

The good thing i feel about a morning run is that after that I do nto feel hungry straight away. It is only about an hr or 2 later then i fell hunger setting in. THis is despite not eating anything before. Maybe it is bacause i Drinka lot of water after running. The bottom line is do what works for you. DOn;t get too caught up with wanting to run inthe morning. Even if there is an effect it will takes weeks of morning exercise for any effect to show and might not even be as significant.

So bro, any exercise at anytime that fits your schedule will go a long way in fat reduction and weight maintenance or reduction.
Hope this helps
Cheers
