TO EAT, OR NOT TO EAT BREAKFAST...
Does exercising on an empty stomach help you burn fat?
The simple answer is yes. When there are no carbohydrates from food readily available in your body to be used as fuel then your body will automatically start converting fat stores to use as energy.
Will this help you lose weight?
The ‘energy in energy out’ principle is the golden rule for weight loss. Even if you’re burning more fat during exercise but you’re consuming the same amount of energy as you normally would, you will not lose any extra weight. It doesn’t matter what type of energy you’re burning, whether it be carbohydrate or fat, but it does matter how much total energy (in kilojoules or calories) you’re burning – the more the better. If skipping breakfast makes you feel tired thereby reducing the intensity or length of your workout, then you will be burning less energy and therefore contributing less to weight loss.

Fitness Myth: A sports drink is a must have during a workout?

Proper hydration is essential during a workout however unless you are exercising at a high intensity for greater than 90 minutes water, rather than sports drinks, are the go. Sports drinks supply additional calories so they are well suited to continual bouts of exercise where the body is burning up calories. During normal training it is not necessary to replace electrolytes such as sodium and potassium as it is unlikely that these stores will be completely depleted. One occasion however, where electrolytes are important, is marathon events in extreme conditions where it may be necessary to add electrolytes to the mix.
