Burn fat on empty: Yes, there is scientific evidence that you will burn more fat by exercising without a pre-exercise meal. The link below will tell you about cyclists who confirmed this. Their "performance" was worse, but their fat burning was enhanced. So, don't eat before a workout to lose fat http://www.Msnbc.Msn.Com/id/37492881/ns/health-fitness/t/get-rid-fat-dont-eat-workout/.

Previous answer good: But avoid carbs the most. Do not eat while exercising, because Insulin prevents the burning of fat. Also avoid sugared gatorade!
