🙋🏼♀️Does exercising before breakfast burn more fat?
✅Yes—but only during the workout.
📖 Research shows that exercising in a fasted state increases fat oxidation because your body relies more on fat as a fuel source.
‼️ However, greater fat burning during exercise does not necessarily translate into greater body fat loss over time.
🍲 When calorie intake and training are matched, long-term fat loss is generally similar between fasted and fed exercise.
BOTTOM LINE
✅ Fasted exercise → Higher fat burning during exercise.
✅ Long-term fat loss → Similar to exercising after breakfast.
✅ The best time to exercise is the time you can do consistently.
