TUESDAY TASTER - Is it Better or Worse to Work Out on an Empty Stomach? Different people work out best under different circumstances, and deciding whether someone should eat before training can be like telling them what time of day to work out or which diet they should follow - it largely depends on what works best for the individual. Many studies have found that training in a fasted state is a terrific way to build lean mass and boost insulin sensitivity. An empty stomach triggers a cascade of hormonal changes throughout the body that are conducive to both building muscle and burning fat. Also, when the body learns to exert itself without any food, it gets better at performing when it does have fuel in the tank. However, many people just dont feel well when they exercise on an empty stomach and their workout quality will suffer. So despite all the logical arguments regarding eating and exercise, it ultimately comes back to common sense. The best advice is to do whatever allows you to generate the most intensity in your workouts and be consistent. #tuesdaytaster greatist/fitness/why-you-should-exercise-on-an-empty-stomach
