When endurance athletes do high-intensity interval training at very hard effort (over 85% of their maximum oxygen capacity), they burn fat at extremely high rates - about 1.58 grams per minute on average, with some burning over 1.85 grams per minute. These are the highest fat-burning rates ever measured in people.
