    So if I work out at night it won't burn the carbs before the fat...that's what I've researched
    All this is soo confusing for me thanks for your replies

    It's total calories that matter, not when or how frequently you eat.

    I like to do my heaviest strength/cardio dance workouts as soon as I wake up. I do not love to exercise, I'm not a morning person and I feel like I'm halfway through the workout before I wake up enough to realize I'm doing it. Therefore, it's easier to just do it, mentally. I also shower in the mornings so I can shower off all the sweat right after. I tend to eat a tiny bit before I workout...maybe a cup of tea with honey and collagen protein powder. If I eat actual food, I feel nauseous.

    I do some cardio mid to late afternoon, usually, often a brisk walk on the beach. That way, I get a tan, I may get a little out of breath, but I don't get disgustingly sweaty, and it's a time I would normally be bored and looking for food.

    If I exercise at night, I don't want to go to bed and I stay up too late.

    I don't think it matters that much in terms of burning carbs before fat or whatever. If you're a professional athlete of some kind, you may want to consider those things.
