I dont know if i worded the question correctly.
Lets say I eat a slice of pizza and then a half hour later I swim laps. Is it possible to burn off the fat/calories that I ate in the pizza before they have time to get processed through the body? Or is the fat that is burned during exercise stored fat?
It would make sense to me that after burning 'new fat' (the fat from the slice of pizza) that after that new fat is burned, THEN stored fat begins being burned off. Is that how it works?

Your body has to get more calories than it uses to store the energy, that is how we gain or lose weight. Regardless of whether what you eat is fat calories or complex carbohydrates it is the same thing. If you exercise and burn more than you ate then you do not gain weight. Your idea of burning the calories before you digest them is not the way it works. You can not burn off calories before they leave your digestive track. You do not burn off the new calories while they are in your stomach or intestines. So if you are counting calories and exercising eat healthy and you can control your weight.
