Would working out on an empty stomach actually affect muscle growth or would it just make the person have a harder time lifting the weights?
The only place I can get a full-body workout is at my school weight room and I have weight room just before lunch so I'm gonna basically have an empty stomach. But if I work out and eat immediately after the workout is finished, would it be fine?
I dont know what the hell to do. I need to cut a lot of fat so I will be focusing more on cardio but I need to workout in the weight room 4 days a week so I can keep all my muscle mass while losing the fat.
So would having an empty stomach during the workout and eating after actually affect how much my muscles grow or would it just make me sluggish and make it harder for me to lift weights?

DO NOT EAT ANY CARBS, FATS, OR PROTEIN BEFORE A LIFT.
You will notice that you become tired faster and not be able to lift as much. You will need to eat to get energy but eat 2 hours before you lift. Not eating for longer than that could cause your body to go into a hypoglycemic state and it is NOT fun. If you want to cut fat, get your diet in place.

Okay so I will try to get protein bars and eat them on the way to the weight room, but that's if I can actually get protein bars. If not I will eat a little extra breakfast. I will eat lunch right after workout too.
So my plan is to eat about 1700-1800 calories a day and do cardio every day and do fullbody workout 4 days a week.
I hope I will lose a lot of fat and keep muscle mass.

Gawd...I told you guys lol...2 hours before workout you can eat...then take the NO-Xplode.
As for your post Scorpion, the food you eat prior to your meal (2 hours) isnt like instantly absorbed...what you get from the food isnt just used up as soon as you eat it. When you do starve yourself before you lift, you end up in a hypoglycemic state...your body starts using your glycogen storages and you feel weak as hell. *blackout*

um are u sure ur korean. because ur not so smart.
eat 30 minutes before you work out, containing carbs and protein. i eat 140 grams of simple carbs and 50 grams of protein before and after workout. You burn simple carbs really fast, and it transports protein into muscle fast.avoid fat. oh and dont workout in the morning. you will gain fat if you do it for a while. after you workout in an empty stomach, your body will think that you will starve your body, and stores what you eat as fat. Not all, but that is one of a way to get fat.I eat for purpose, not pleasure

Excuse me for my ignorance, but please enlighten me more, I love knowledge. When you take these supplements before a workout, it releases a spike of insulin which reduces fat burning and inhibits your body from releasing GH and from there its pretty straightforward what happens. Reduced GH = lower gains.
