Daytime vs nighttime cardio

The possible reason for the perception might be that, during a workout, you are likely to lose water and stored glycogen. While those levels should be restored as part of recovery, the process is not instantaneous. It's plausible that, if one did a workout late at night and weighed first thing in the morning, there might be a difference in scale weight vs a day that one worked out early and so was farther along in the recovery process. Any differences, however, would be due to timing and would not represent actual "weight" loss.
That explanation includes a lot of "ifs" and speculation, but it is one possibility. Ultimately, as others have said, workout timing has no independent effect on weight loss.1 -
I usually do both because I enjoy it and I'm super sedentary during the work day and outside of exercise/activity.
Loving how it makes me feel and it helps me to maintain my weight.
I started off working out in the early morning just to get it over with. Now I look forward to it.
There are too many factors for me to say if there was a difference in timing. Had I ate a meal higher in sodium? TOM? etc. etc. I just watched my calories, stayed active, had a lot of patience and stay consistent and the weight came off.0 -
A brisk walk in the morning on the empty stomach will do more than same walk in evening15

I don't think that is true. What source in the form of a broad based peer reviewed study do you have that would prove that? Generally speaking, exercise and nutrient timing is irrelevant except for preference and perceived performance. Where do you find anything that proved differently?1 -

This in not about cals burned. Think about hormonal make up working in your body. if you heard about insuline in the blood, it will never let fatty acids comes out from fat cells only in opposite direction. Perceived performance is irrelevant too. Person may feel really hard working, but fat burn is zerro. The simple answer, the insuline in the blood don't let to reliese even 1 gram of fat.17

For a while I did think that evening workouts resulted in more weight loss than daytime workouts. Until I realized that I was going to bed without rehydrating fully and the scales the next morning were celebrating my dehydrated state.6

Cardio doesn't burn fat. A calorie deficit does. It doesn't matter when you work out. It matters how many calories you eat.

Actually, cardio does burn fat... More overweight, more cal burn. But slim person really has so few cal burn that it should not be counted. So only one hope... on hormones. They will activate fat reliese. Just, please, don't forget keep insuline at zerro23

So the scientific study that demonstrates any of this is........???
Honestly, this sounds like a bunch of pseudo-science to me.4 -

From the article quoted:
"But for folks who aren’t that lean yet, the folks in the middle range of body fat levels, it really doesn’t matter. The best time to do cardio will be whenever it will most consistently get done. If that’s first thing in the morning, fantastic. If not, also fantastic. It’s more important in this situation that it gets done than when it gets done."
You're not understanding the sources you're referencing.6 -
The original question was Day-time vs Night-time.
Not Fasted vs non-fasted cardio.
Furthermore.
As @natasor1 you're looking through references that support your point of view... have a look for the other papers that have found the opposite (i.e. no difference)
The jury is out as to whether fasted or non fasted is "most" effective.
And you know what? When the difference becomes so small that it becomes part of academic debate with no clear answer.... the answer becomes: "THE ONE YOU DO!"5 -
You are actualy rite. When people are grossly overweight it will be a great move just start walking any time of the day. We want to know how to make those 10 extra lb to go, or overcome plato. Nighte walk is good too. But best results can be achieved after about 4 hrs of not eating. If person asks how to reach her weight lost goal quicker, why not to mention hormonal differences which works more efficient?...11

Read the article you referenced properly. You. Are. Wrong.
Quoting it again for you: "But for folks who aren’t that lean yet, the folks in the middle range of body fat levels, it really doesn’t matter.
And the OP said absolutely noting about losing the last 10lb or getting over a plateau.2 -
