protein needs fat to be digested?

"depending on your intensity..."

i am getting the impression that doing ultra-low intensity stuff (along with having plenty of amino acids present in the system) is the best way to ensure that a person is burning more fat and less muscle. IOW, the higher the intensity the more the body will require glycogen, possibly even burning muscle for glycogen. is that about right? i never did like cardio.

its not that easy though.... doing high intensity will burn many calories while you are doing it many of which will be glucose... but youre metabolism will be elevated throughout the day allowing you to burn fat continuously...

low intensity will burn fat... but very little total calories... so over 2 weeks walking for 6 hours a week... you might only burn 1lb of pure fat and no muscle (im totally making that up for an example)
