Let me preface this by saying that any suggestions I give is either from personal knowledge, experience or personal research I have done on my own. I am NOT a professional and most importantly you should always learn your own body and what works and doesn't work for you.
With that being said, fasted cardio, stop doing it brehs and brehettes if you are doing it for fat burn or weight loss.
What is fasted cardio-Cardio done on an EMPTY stomach.
Why do people do it?-The general thought is that you are burning fat cells because your body has nothing else to burn at that time.
The truth-First off lets realize that fat burning does NOT happen at the time cardio is being done. It happens roughly 2 hours after the completion of cardio. So when you are doing cardio on an empty stomach the body isn't going to use fat as energy, its going to use your muscle instead, which means you are going to lose muscle, which is likely 9 times out of 10 the one thing most people do not want to happen.
So there you have it brehs and brehettes. I highly suggest not doing fasted cardio. Lets clear this up though. Morning cardio is fine, but eat something before doing so that your body has fuel to burn and won't use your muscles. Unless you are ok with the muscle loss and your goal is to look scrawny then by all means continue the fasted cardio.

Not trying to be a dikk but the information is out there. Not sure what exactly you would consider reputable.
Doesn't really say anything different from what I have stated in here.
