With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

As I understand here are the two main pro's/cons for morning and afternoon/evening workouts: Morning: Good-Burns fat Bad-Possibly burns muscle Evening: Good-Warmer muscles, better performance Bad- Easy to skip/only burns carbs, not fat So if I want to work out in the morning to burn fat but not muscle, what do I do? Do I eat a very small amount of food to help kick-start my body? Or do I take nothing? I'm very confused...:(

Have a meal replacement bar if you don't have time to make something, or a cup of oatmeal with some protein powder.. There have been several posts on this in the last few months, search fitBuddy for morning workout, food, eating for some good results. -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli
