Mini Mikkipedia - Fasted vs Fed Training: What the Research Really Says


Listen Later

In this episode of Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki dives into the ongoing debate: should you train fasted or fed? With new research in hand—including a recent 12-week resistance training study and insights from Abby Smith Ryan's lab—Mikki breaks down what science actually says about strength, fat loss, and muscle gains depending on your pre-training nutrition. She also explores the real-world implications for early morning exercisers, especially those juggling tight schedules and body composition goals. Most importantly, Mikki highlights how mindset and context matter more than rigid rules. Whether you're a "train and go" type or someone who fuels before fitness, this episode will help you make informed, flexible choices that suit your goals—and your biology.

💡 Highlights:

  • What the latest research says about fasted vs. fed resistance training
  • Why the context of your day matters more than the clock
  • Common pitfalls of fasted morning workouts (and how to avoid them)
  • The importance of fuelling for energy availability and recovery
  • How to evaluate if your current strategy is working for you
