I have a weight lifting class I’m taking in college 11:30 to 12:45 a.m. and I eat breakfast at 6:30 a.m. I don’t have much of a meal for breakfast and I think I burn much of it off in my judo class before my weight lifting class, resulting in little energy to work with. I lift for a little more than 45 minutes and wondering if that would affect my body by a lot! Would my body start using lean muscle as energy or would I still be losing fat? I don’t eat anything else than breakfast in that time period( 7am to 1pm) . I try to bring one piece of fruit from time to time, but is that enough? Oh, and I heard lifting weights AFTER cardio is bad, can anyone tell me why? Thanks a lot!
its actually better to do cardio first, it gets you blood flowing through your muscles so they’re more receptive after. As for lifting on low energy, you’ll still be burning fat, but you may want to remember that it can be dangerous if you’re using free weights, and pointless if you cant properly concentrate on the muscle.

I would have my weight training before cardio but you should eat a lite snack like fruit in between exercises to give you the stamina to receive the best results possible in your work-out.

personally i think u should eat more beforehand so your have plenty of food for the weights session. if u dont have enough water in you it can lead to injuries ive heard.
