By Last updated

A few years ago, I was in a fat loss phase, trying to get lean for the summer. One day, I came across a forum thread with a dumbass title in the lines of “Why you should have cheat days.”

I clicked on it, read through and was convinced that, while dieting down, I should (nay, must) include cheat days two to three times per month to ‘propel’ fat-burning and improve diet adherence.

“What is the best time of day to work out?”

As it turns out, there is some science to the answer and the time of day you choose to train could influence your results.
