    There's no scientific evidence of the benefit to lifting or doing cardio in a fasted state, keep it real simple and just have some carbs for energy before you lift, and really exert yourself during the session.

    WHEN you eat does not even come close to the importance of HOW MUCH you eat and that's all there is to it.

    I don't do this, but I have heard good things about a website/blog that utilizes it: http://www.leangains.com
