Is it good to train without breakfast?




This question has been very controversial. Many people raise the possibility of skipping breakfast and go out to train in order to weight loss. Other people are not used to breakfast until late after doing various activities.

The truth is that it is recommended to drink water and eat something no more than 15 minutes after waking up. You spend all night without eating and even if you think you are not being physically active in the night.  You need to take energy in the morning, the truth is that your body burns calories at night as it is recovering from everything done in the day.


So the ideal is that you feed as soon as you wake up. If you're going out to train you can´t eat very heavy foods. Maybe you can have breakfast and wait to digest and then go to train. But the general situation is that we wake up early to eat, train , take a bath and get ready for work or other activities .
Remember that when you exercise. Your body needs energy, if you have not fed you risk losing muscle mass. This has several implications contrary to what most people think. On one side you increase the chances of getting injured. Your metabolism slows down and thus could lead to gain weight more easily.

I've heard people say that if they go for a run at a very low intensity fasting help you lose fat. It is true that low intensity training helps burn fat. But is more important to change your basal metabolism trough both exercises and feeding you properly.

A good breakfast should contain carbohydrates, proteins and fats in a balanced way.

suggestions:

Breakfast 1
1 glass of water
1 Banana
1 glass or cup of yogurt
2-4 slices of toast with jam

Breakfast 2
1 glass of water
1 glass of Orange Juice
1 cup cereal with fruit and yogurt

Remember to vary the amounts to half an hour to an hour can go to train. At the end of your training you can eat something heavier if you need it, but before you can take a toddy or a protein drink quick assimilation.

Try it and notice the difference!
