Contradicting common advice, a new study says that exercising before eating doesn't increase the amount of fat you burn. You could even be hurting your body!
Published in the Strength and Conditioning Journal, the metastudy compared the results of several other studies. One of them looked at cyclists who trained after eating vs those who trained without eating. Not only was the amount of fat burn the same, those who trained while fasting had about 10% of their calorie burn come from protein, including their own muscle mass.
