Does exercising on an empty stomach in the morning burn more fat?

July 2, 2008 by admin 

I would not recommend exercising on an empty stomach because your blood sugar is low in the morning from not eating for 8-10 hours. It is recommended that you eat something 2 hours before working out. If you have proper fuel in your system, you are able to perform better. Eating will also reduce the chances of passing out during a workout.

Again, every person is different. Some people can workout on an empty stomach with no problems while others run the risk of getting sick and passing out.

Some experts say that exercising on an empty stomach burns more fat, but overall, the number of calories you burn during a workout is much more important.
