Why you would: Ordinarily exercise uses a combination of glycogen (carbohydrates) and fat as fuel, but according to a recent study published in Sports Medicine, exercising in a fasted or glycogen - depleted state causes adaptations in the body's fat - oxidising abilities, causing the body to use fat for fuel.

Higher quantities of carbohydrates after the workout have less chance of being stored as excess fat, simply because depleted glycogen has to be stored first while fat storage is a secondary objective of your body.
