I dont know which is best but I currently subscribe to the practice of doing my work outs on a pretty empty stomach.. I only have coffee and mct oil upon waking around 6:30 then at 9 I have a low carb protein shake 11-1 is gym time. Then i basically try to shove 3500 calories down before bed.
But that is a great question I wonder what other guys do? especially since all our lives more than likely accommodate different schedules.
Me too! need something if ima work out.Agree!!!
Except for the training part without food. LOL. I cannot do that! I need food with carbs to have a productive weight lifting session.
When is it best for me to get the BEST fat loss?
OR
Can I do cardio right after my 75min weight lifting session on a treadmill?
Not everyone is the same so opinions will vary on this topic.
Personally, I don't do fasted cardio, I have tried it in the past when I needed to drop some fat in a hurry and it did not work out well for me, I didn't lose any extra fat at all. However, I appeared skinnier looking. I use a dedicated day for cardio for best results, 45-60 minutes of the stairmaster at a reasonably mild pace, never faster or slower, just a static pace I set in the beginning. Obviously, eat very clean.
Can anyone answer the original post?
^^ Don't listen to this knucklehead. Do you your fasted cardio first thing in the morning for best fat loss but it's ok to do cardio after your workout if you need to. 2 sessions of fasted cardio a week along with 2 sessions of HIIT cardio would be a great start on cardio for fat loss. This info comes from body builders on here that know what they're talking about as well as a diet coach that several members on the forum use.
Depends on your goals.Can anyone answer the original post?
seriously Kenny... all your post did was state an opinion like it we as fact with no backing at all. and please don't start posting sources you know as well as I do the jury is still out and there are plenty of sources for both sides.. and your not taking into account "supplements" .... they change a lot when it comes to the way our bodies use calories.... and that also varies depending on the "cocktail".Nameless Bodybuilders
Nothing like being vague to make your point.
Nice.

I will add one thing to this debate. You will burn fat for energy only when glycogen has been depleted. You can deplete said glycogen in what ever way works for you. You can do cardio fasted if you have the energy for it or you can do it after a weight training session, again if you have the energy. You can also just do cardio for a long enough period of time to deplete glycogen stores but it could take a while. The only time you will buen extra fat though is if you have no more glycogen to break down to provide glucose to the cells. The way you get there is up to you.

^^^^Was it fat loss or weight loss? Fat loss is great. Weight loss usually means a lot of muscle loss too.
Should I do cardio on an empty stomach upon rising?
NO
Training in a fasted states is one of those misconceptions that won't go away.
You do not burn any more body fat in a fasted state that you with a Pre Workout Meal or Beverage.
NO Again
Anyone who has enough energy to preform cardio after their weight training session, didn't push it.
If you going to perform cardio, you either need to...
1) Preform cardio later or earlier in the day as a separate session.
2) Preform cardio on a day by itself.
