[QUOTE="Lemonie, post: 1309739, member: 29475"] Just wanted to post to update what seems to be working for me at the moment. I have kept all my daily macros the same as before but have tried to spread my carbs out towards the morning as well. I tried exercising fasted and that was a no go, felt a bit strange. Tried exercising and just letting my bloods drop (lowest was 3.0) but was absolutely exhausted and struggled through my workout which I really didn't enjoy. I now have a green smoothie about 15 - 30 minutes before going into the gym. 50g celery, 1 apple, 1 banana, 30g cranberries, 200ml coconut water, 20g kale. topped up with water. 242 cals and 66g of carbs. My bloods stay around 4.4 through the day without exercise and when I test at half way through my workout after main cardio it is still in the low 4's and the same after I have finished. Thinking my body needs the extra carb hit to workout. It's a bit hit of carbs in one go but as I'm using it all up within 30 mins am going to stick with this. [/QUOTE]
