Fasted Training

Lifting on an empty stomach, usually first thing in the morning.

Definition

Fasted training is exercise done 8+ hours after the last meal — typically before breakfast. It does not burn meaningfully more fat than fed training over a 24-hour window, but works fine for people who can't tolerate pre workout food. Performance on heavy compounds usually drops after the first 30 minutes.

Real questions

Does fasted cardio burn more fat?

Marginally during the session, but the body compensates by burning less later. Total daily calories matter more.
