The article says fasted walkers drew more energy from stored body fat than fed walkers. Respiratory exchange ratio studies show fasted exercisers tend to burn fat as the dominant fuel while fed exercisers tend toward carbohydrate combustion at the same pace. Total calories burned alone does not show whether a walk used stored fat or recently consumed fuel. A 2013 British Journal of Nutrition study compared 60 minutes of walking in fasted and fed states while tracking fuel source.
