The data to the left means nothing to me. The real
question is what kind of calories are you burning?
Your body can burn protein, carbohydrate or fat during
exercise. The type of nutrients you burn depends on
the type of activity, the intensity, duration, and
most mportantly... your diet. For example, if you
eat a fat free muffin before you exercise, you will
burn the fat free muffin while exercising (as oppposed
to body fat!). If you haven’t eaten anything
all day and go to the gym, nearly half of all the
calories expended will come from breaking down your
own muscles. The contractile components of your muscles
will literally be dismantled and cellular mitochondria
within muscles will be severely degraded.
80% of the results
you get from working out at the gym is derived from
what you do in the kitchen. As a personal trainer/nutritionist
I always make sure my clients are eating correctly
-otherwise, what’s the point exercising a
weak body?
