Ok I've read that its better to do cardio on an empty stomach because you will burn more fat since your body has to use something for energy, but I have also read that doing cardio on an empty stomach will cause muscle catabolism and that its better to eat something right after you get up because insulin sensitivity is high. So which on is it???
Same thing goes with doing cardio after lifting. I've read that you should do your cardio after lifting for max fat burning, but I have also read that cardio exercises should be done approximately 8 to 12 hours before or after you weight train because cardio has negative impacts on muscle building after lifting.
Also, I've read that you can take some glutamine to preserve muscle in the morning if you are doing cardio on an empty stomach, but because blood sugar levels are low upon waking up, glutamine will just utilized to replenish blood glucose.
So which one is best??
