"Training tip given by Alwyn Cosgrove on T-Nation:
Fasted Cardio: Are You F'ing Kidding?
Let's take two twins, both 200 lbs, both training to get lean. One difference: one of them eats two eggs and does 30 minutes of cardio three days per week. The other does 30 minutes of cardio, three days per week and THEN eats two eggs. What's the difference in terms of fat loss after six months? I'll tell you — no f*cking difference. Thirty minutes of steady state cardio will burn about 300 calories. Three times per week = 900 calories. Add that up for 26 weeks and we get 23,400 calories or 6.6 lbs of fat. If doing it fasted burned 30% more (which it doesn't), you're looking at another 2 lbs of fat in that same six month period, or an additional 0.07 pounds per week. Aerobic training doesn't do a hell of a lot for real world fat loss. Even if you're hungry. "
i was thinking using two eggs is not an ideal example.
if everything was equall ie diet (defecit) training cals burned per day etc but twin A did 30mins ss-cardio fasted then ate a breakfast containing protein/fats/carbs,twin B ate a breakfast before ss-cardio containing protein/fats/carbs, and the rest of the day they ate the same food,would there be a difference in either fat-loss or body composition over say 6mths.
because twin A is using mostly fat during cardio,would his fat loss be more.
