the claim

Working out in a fasted state causes weight gain.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that working out in a fasted state causes weight gain?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly test whether fasted exercise causes weight gain. One National Geographic article on fasted workouts says the long-term picture is unclear, and a 2025 BMJ network meta-analysis of intermittent fasting found fasting strategies reduced body weight rather than increased it, but neither addresses fasted exercise causing weight gain.
