Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: The speaker cleverly makes a claim and then corrects it. While your body does burn a higher *percentage* of fat for fuel during fasted cardio, studies show this doesn't lead to more overall body fat loss over a 24-hour period compared to doing cardio after eating, as long as total calories are the same. ⚖️ The body simply compensates by burning more carbs later. The speaker is correct that the total 'calories in vs. calories out' balance is the key driver for weight loss. 🔬
