Anyone tried working out with an empty stomach in the morning? What are your experiences?


tried it years ago - had no energy and had a hard time just maintaining strength levels.....

The great thing about being retired is that I don't have to worry about when to workout. I can and do hit the gym whenever I wish. However, my energy levels are the best from about 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. so that is when I usually go to the gym.

Plus, you have to finish up so you can catch the Early Bird special at Perkins.....

i always have very good energy early in the morning without any food.. just a mug of coffee with milk and i can do my best with weights!!..

also i think to work on an empty or nearly empty stomach helps to burn more of your body fats!!..

After work. I'm more rested and have about 3 meals in me to fuel the workout.

Honestly dude the stuff with the fuel is BS and just a mental thing. If you have eaten normally the day before your glycogen stores aren't empty after night, same goes for your Amino acid pool. You would have to be several days without any nutrition to run out of "fuel", your body is way smarter than you think (or the supplement guys tell you ;D)

I don't agree at all.  I get light-headed/dizzy when I try to lift heavy in the mornings before eating.

I've worked out at every time of day.  My favorite is a couple hours after I wake up, middle of the day or so.  Least favorite morning.  Most commonly I work out at about 8-10 pm.

I often go home after work with the intention of working out between 8 and 10 pm but always wind up on the couch for some odd unexplained reason
