Morning fasting exercise vs. evening meal exercise

Morning fasting exercise and evening post-meal exercise
I looked into what kind of differences there are and what times of day are good for exercising.
Morning exercise
Morning exercise helps send blood throughout every corner of our body.
In this process, metabolism is activated, allowing oxygen and necessary nutrients to be better distributed throughout the body, helping you start the day energetically. The increased metabolism leads to higher calorie expenditure, making it more effective in reducing body fat by utilizing stored energy sources in the body.
If you are aiming for rapid weight loss, morning fasting cardio exercise would be more effective.
Evening exercise
If your goal is to increase muscle mass, exercising in the evening is more advantageous.
Exercising after 7 PM, when adrenal cortex hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels increase, can enhance effectiveness. If you exercise in the evening on an empty stomach, blood sugar levels may drop, and decreased concentration can increase the risk of injury. Therefore, having a light meal beforehand and consuming enough protein within 30 minutes after exercise can help maximize the benefits of strength training.
It's not necessarily strength training.
Walking, cycling, and other moderate aerobic exercises are good for blood sugar control and also help with restful sleep.
My goal for dieting is not necessarily essential, but since it would still be good, morning exercise seems more suitable.
It seems like you should find a workout time that matches each person's goals and direction.
And more important than that is, consistently.
Because consistency is important.
You worked hard today as well by exercising.
