But if you like the feeling of working out on an empty stomach, it's not going to wreck your fitness goals.

Working out while fasted is nothing new, the old Cybergenics routine from the early 90's was big on that. That program was BRUTAL... but it worked well... probably better than any other workout I have ever used for building muscle and burning fat simultaneously. It was too brutal to follow it for very long though... lol. A lot of the stuff I read now still is a proponent of working out fasted, but most recommend 5-10 Grams of BCAA's before you workout so that you don't have too much catabolism going on with your muscles.

As for the bro science... I seem to get a bit leaner when I workout fasted, but honestly I'm not sure it really makes that much of a difference.

cranking an extra 5% efficiency out of workouts. Perfection is the enemy good enough.

in that "Body For Life Book" that working out in the AM on an empty stomach burns 400% more fat.

Whether there is science to back that up or not is debatable..but it's something I had read (and not necessarily believed).

yes. Fasted lifting no.

Out fasted is the best way. I can attest to it. A short video breakdown why.
