Ok so I’ve bought some things I can keep in car so if I need something I can eat and go and if I don’t need them all good.
Corned beef (hopefully a bit salty too so they might help)
Sugar free jelly. Then I can have a bit so if I need a taste it might help
Brazil nuts
Those tuna pots with lemon etc.
Again protein so hopefully if I need it it’s there.

@woollygal - I look at it in a way others haven't expressed here, in that I consider if I'm not eating carbs, I don't have access to a quick hit of sugar for energy, so I need to fuel differently. The proteins and fats we eat take longer to become energy, but they do become energy in their own time. By energy I mean fuel, as opposed to Tigger style bouncy, bouncy get up and go.

In essence, in your shoes, I would try to increase my breakfast a bit. If not add by adding another rasher of bacon, an egg or whatever, then maybe by having some yoghurt too. If you have that early enough, it will turn to fuel in due course. The timing is very personal, as our digestions all work at different paces.

Might be worth thinking about.

I did do that Saturday but I only did 2 hours so didn’t really notice it. I do eat a lot of breakfast byway, 3 eggs and 2 bacon in butter.
But im trying ti tomorrow.
Also I’m adding pink salt to everything

It'll not be an instant fix. Your body needs to get used to it.

I used to keep tins of sardines in the car with a fork. The ones in olive oil keep me going for hours
