incorrect... training fasted will NOT cause you to "use up your muscles"
i dont kno where you people read this sh*t
Lets be a little more exact here. There is some protein (muscle) breakdown during exercise, be it resistance training, aerobic or anaerobic. During the recover period protein synthesis occurs. The balance of the two determines whether you gain, maintain or lose.
Now, depending on what type of work you are doing, training fasted could lead to extra protein break down during exercise. If you are training at low intensities, such as walking or a light jog, than there will not likely be much of a difference. If, however, you are training at higher intensities then there will be a greater glucocorticoid release and possibly a greater protein catabolism. Is it likely to make a big difference in the grand scheme of things..... I don't know.
train fasted, or full... isnt going to make a difference... at the end of the day, its cals in vs cals out (and food choices)
This is fairly inaccurate. Whether your goal is gains in size and strength, or a decrease in body fat, training fasted compromises results. Work output lower when training fasted. We see this whether it is resistance training or anaerobic training. A lower work output results in a lower stimulus for adaptation.
Is fasted training going to result in less weight if you are doing a few sets of singles - not likely. Is training fasted going to harm results from AM walking - not likely. Is training fasted going to result in a lower work output when doing multiple sets and higher volume - absolutely. Is training fasted going to result in a lower caloric expenditure during HIIT or > low intensity cardio - yes.
I think then, we can look at the synergistic effects of increased protein degradation and lower work output during fasted training as compromising optimal performance and adaptation.
you can eat 8 tiny meals a day or 1 giant meal..... my instincts tell me we should only be eating max 3 times a day(along with science)
I'd be interested in seeming some scientific evidence that says we should only eat 3 times a day.
