Does Fasted Training Burn More Fat?

About this video

The speaker compares identical diets where one group trains after an eight to ten hour fast and the other eats breakfast first. He says the fasted group burns more body fat during the workout itself, while the fed group burns its breakfast then. Because the fed group eats less later, its fat oxidation rises later in the day, so total daily fat burning comes out even.

Key takeaways

• The speaker says fasted training burns more fat during the workout itself.
• The speaker says fed training shifts fat oxidation later in the day, evening out total daily fat burning.
