    Depends on your body. I have to excercise before breakfast since it makes me sick to do otherwise. My husband has to eat a breakfast first. Other people I know are either side.

    You can burn a lot more calories if you exercise before you eat anything in the morning.

    Kbop, why is it that you burn more calories before you eat anything in the morning?

    Ah, see that's what I thought, but wasn't sure...
    you'd burn more calories by working out first because it boosts your metabolism, so you'd utilize the food more efficiently, I think.

    But, I wasn't sure, because eating kick-starts your metabolism, no?

    I'm not a breakfast person, and would rather work out first, because that gives me an appetite... but I also want to lose weight.
