AnswersDrive1. Many people believe that early morning exercise before breakfast burns more body fat than after eating later in the day. Although there is still some debate, the evidence is growing that doing aerobic or cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is good for fat loss.
Considering this, is it better to run on an empty stomach in the morning?
Working out on an empty stomach is often touted as the best way to burn fat and lose weight. While it is true that running on an empty stomach, if done in the right way, can eventually force your body to increasingly obtain the energy it needs from free fatty acids, this is not the decisive factor in losing weight.
What should we eat before morning run?
“You want to shy away from high fiber foods, which take longer to digest.” Good options for effective, but easy-to-digest morning foods are toast with peanut butter and banana, oatmeal, or an energy bar. Regardless of which one you choose, select something that's made up primarily of carbs and easily digestible.
Do you work out first or eat first?
The Truth: You should always eat something before exercising so your body has enough fuel to power through your workout. The rationale behind this widely accepted myth is that forgoing food before exercise will force your body to burn more fat during your workout.
