That is not the best of plans. Cardio on an empty stomach actually leads to a decrease in overall intensity. So it may be true that more fat is burned on an empty stomach - although it isn't much more - more calories are burned on when not in a fasted state. Furthermore the effects on metabolism throughout the day are supposed to be greater because of the increased intensity and calories burned. This allows you to continue to burn more calories throughout the day.

It's the same theory as lifting. Yes you are breaking down the muscle when lifting, but the growth comes from repair. So yeah you might burn more "fat" doing cardio on an empty stomach, the total calories burned are greater throughout the day when having something to eat first. The total effect is greater this way.

Plus, it lessens the chance that the body turns to muscle for fuel.

the latest research (no I dont have the links lol) says empty stomach + Leucine (one of the bcaa's) and glutamine (or a tiny touch of pure whey if you dont have the bcaa/glu)will not impair fat burning but WILL stop or reduce catabolism that'd you'd get with am cardio on an empy stomach.

Afterall, knowledge is power!
I was curious because I was thinking of doing a degree in personal training. Not meaning to hijack the thread much

i have gotten better results with cardio post training and midafternoon 2 to 3 hours after my last protein/fat meal on off days.
