With the hope of getting slim as soon as possible, some people choose to go on an empty stomach.

"Exercise on an empty stomach can maximize combustion.

However, a recent study published in the journal strength and training pointed out that even before eating, the amount of fat burned does not increase, and the amount of fat burned is the same as that before exercise.

In the process of exercise, the energy used to generate energy does not all come from the combustion of fat. In fact, some of the heat comes from the oxidation of protein, which is also the most important basis for the construction of muscle tissue.

In the study, the researchers asked cyclists to train on the empty stomach and observe the heat they burned.

Observation data show that 10% of heat comes from burning protein and contracting muscles.

According to the study, it seems more desirable to eat before exercise as long as it is not too short.

In another study, eating before exercise will bring more benefits, especially for women, and they will not feel hungry any time soon.

Research shows that intake of 45 grams of carbohydrate before exercise can keep the feeling of satiety for a whole day.
