Weight / Fat loss

10 mile commute on an empty stomach.

Is this more helpful for fat burning than having breakfast before?

Opinions differ massively on this. Apparently doing so will lower your glycogen stores which might make you hungrier later in the day.

I personally have breakfast before I ride to work. But I'm always starving when I wake up.

The rule is: up to 40 mins of low intensity, fasted exercise in the morning is OK and will aid weight loss - that does mean you will have to keep your dick in you trousers on the commute though.

Anything longer/more intense will eat into glycogen stores and be a hindrance to weight loss rather than a help.
