you SHOULDNT lift weights on a empty stomache. some light cardio is ok in the morning. do a search on 'fasted cardio' theres alot of posts here

whats wrong with lifting on an empty stomach though? ive always thought it was better because you not burning any food your just working on your muscles.

No, I responded to your question on why not to lift on an empty stomach.

Put simply, it risks the buring of lean muscle tissue amongst other things.

If you want my honest opinion, and I'm assuming you do since you asked in a public forum, weight training on an empty stomach is stupid. Dumb, dumb, dumb. DUMB.

...don't do it.
