A member asked:

How long after cardio and strength training do calories continue to burn before it is stored as fat? when does the fat storage process begin? at rest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In less than Out: As long as your calories IN are less than your calories OUT you will lose weight (fat). Any calorie that you take in that your body does not need (for exercise or to maintain the body) will be stored as fat.
