I agree. My intention was to eat a snack. I missed out on an opportunity to have a dessert. I ate a high carb and protein breakfast this morning before going to the gym. It helped a little...

Ditto, with Melissa. Sounds like you know what you're doing. No carbs, no lifty bueno. Good fuel.

A-Ok John... the odd fasted workout is no big problem. Also, you're down to pre-spring weight...nice to have a few pounds "in the bank" heading into Christmas and the Holiday season.

John, had almost the opposite situation yesterday to you. I fasted, yet I had one of my best lift days. I could go and go and was also able to run (walk the really steep hills) 3.5 miles home on a totally emty stomach. But the night before I had a million, OMAD calories at a party. I am sure trying to learn how this all works. It seems like the imput of the day before impacts my workouts so much. In the past, I have gone in to lift having barely eaten the day before. Even with a big healthy breakfast, I felt like weak kitten.

My guess is that because you had eaten well the night before you had plenty of glycogen stored in your muscles. Food in our stomach is not ready to supply energy to our muscles. It has to be digested first. My understanding is that we need at least a few hours after eating before we exercise to use those calories as fuel...
