This comment was also made here on HN not long ago (maybe that's where you read it). I believe someone also stated that it's not good for your back to exercise too soon after waking.
I believe your "<something>" is glycogen. The basic idea being that if you have no glycogen to burn, you'll burn fat.

- StavrosK 16y agoI am 99% sure that they did say glycogen. It was glyco-something, anyway. It might have been on HN, although I think I remember fittit. Regardless, that's not important. Also, it's probably true that it's not very good to exercise after waking, but nobody said you have to exercise after waking, just that you have to do it before eating breakfast :)
- DrStalker 16y agoglycogen is your short-term in muscle energy storage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Metabolic_pathways http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Metabolic_pathways explains why exertion with no glycogen burns fat.
