Working out before breakfast - Good or Bad

I read an article that said something about burning muscle if you workout before eating breakfast since you have no reserves to get the energy from. But if you don't work out for too long and have a protein drink right after then I would think that you are okay.

Thanks for all the responses. I didn't realize that all the comments would have came in like that .

I will say that I feel better all day since I Ihave changed the workout schedule to early morning. I am looking to get a BodyBugg to see if there is a calorie burn difference between morning and evening because I can tell you on Saturday and Sunday I will not be getting up that ealry.

I also think drining the Lean Body Hi Protain drink right afterwards help keeps the stomach from getting upset and since those drink are healthy my body will use the protein faster for better recovery. I am going to try this for a couple week and see what happens. If I see a good change I will see about getting up 30 earlier to get a longer burn in.

Again thanks for all the comments.

If you Google "bonk training" you'll see some additional stuff out there as well. A lot of people swear by it when it comes to burning fat. It kind of makes sense considering your glycogen stores will be mostly depleted after a night of sleep. Your body will need to pull energy from somewhere, and it'll burn fat. I'm not sure where the "you'll burn muscle tissue away!" came from, but I'm pretty sure it's a myth.
