"Overnight fasting that lowers blood sugar and liver carbohydrate (glycogen) levels impairs your ability to sustain high intensity exercise for extended periods of time," says [Monique] Ryan, [Sports Dietician and author of Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes]. That's because carbohydrates--not fats--are your most important fuel for workouts that are meant to burn serious calories. So, in other words, eating before morning exercise can help you work harder and longer, and this revs up fat-burning.
