My question is aboutthe fat that we eat before during a meal...and how it is metabolized during exercise after the meal.
last night I had a heavy fat meal, 800 calories of straight fat: cream and buttter (it was delicous new orleans style BBQ shrinp!) and 300 calories of bread and rice. Then went to the gym and worked out burning roughly 350 calories. What happens to the fat during my work out? Does it get metabolized at all or does it go straight to my thighs? and the carbs were burned off instead? thanks! bizi

I think the meal has to be fully digested & converted "fuel" before any of it would get burned by exercise.
some info I found on various exercise websites - Most sites I read - suggest waiting 4 hrs to exercise after a big meal, 2 hrs for a moderate meal and so on. Basically the body burns the stored glucose in the liver & muscles and then will begin to burn the stored body fat after the other sources are depleted. generally it is better to eat after workouts as the body's metabolism is revved up and will stay revved for awhile after.

thank you for looking that up for me.
 I have not been following reccomendations I guess. I have been eating dinner around 6pm and then going tothe gym at 8 to lift weights for 30 minutes and then cardio for 40 minutes.shower home by 10;15, lights out at midnight. doing this and dieting I have lost 22 pounds. I sometimes eat a lite snack if I am hungry before bed. thank you again...I hope you are well. bizi
