Is it bad to excercise before having breakfast? (On The Treadmill, im trying to lose weight). I heard you burn more fat if you excercise on an empty stomach. Is This true? Is it healthy? Edit: Just so you know, i dont skip breakfast, i have oatmeal cereal right after i've exercised

I'd like to know too. I've been getting back into exercising again and I don't know when I should eat.

If you exercise without protein in your body, your body will start eating your muscle instead of the protein o_o

It may burn more fat, but it's definitely not healthy. I accidentally did this the other night and I felt awful afterwards. (Nauseous, shaky, feeble, etc.)

It isn't unhealthy as long as you don't over do it.. Exercising in the morning just a tiny bit can start your metabolism (from what I have read) so as long as you don't do a lot then it will be fine. Later in the day after you have eaten and stuff that's when your supposed to a proper exercise sesh.. I tried doing this once, but it was in the evening and I had had no food prior, felt really sick after-wards so as long as you have a good, healthy meal around 1 hour before doing a big exercise session then you wont feel sick or nauseous.

No, consume some protein an hour before you work out. An hard-boiled egg, a banana, or a small fruit smoothie with a scoop of whey protein powder all work. Don't exercise on an empty stomach. You will be running on empty. Thus, you will begin to burn muscle, not fat. A pound of muscle has been scientifically proven to burn 25-50 calories a day, while fat just sits there. So just eat a snack before working out and replenish yourself after. It's as simple as that. And the top three reasons why we should eat breakfast: 1. Better performance. Breakfast eaters have a more positive attitude toward school and work, and they perform better. 2. Better overall nutrition. People who eat breakfast are more likely to get the nutrients their bodies need. 3. Better weight control. Breakfast revs up the body's metabolic rate first thing in the morning; burning calories faster than if the morning meal had been skipped. Thus, breakfast eaters maintain their weight more easily.

IF you exercise right after waking up and without eating anything,you will indeed burn MORE FAT.But, your body will stay in a cathabolic state from when you were sleeping and you will lose MUSCLE. If you want to maintain muscle mass, do your cardio right after your workout routine since your body will have burned most of the prots and etcs from working out. Also, doing cardio at any time of the day will yield results and know that 60% of weight loss is in what you eat.
