[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2399559, member: 368709"] To be honest [USER=321346]@Mrsg11[/USER] unless you’re an elite athlete or training for a major event, if you’re eating sufficient nutritious food for your meals, you shouldn’t need special or additional pre/post workout food. As [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] says, that’s a very low calorie intake and I’m guessing the reason behind you feeling as you did. On a low carb diet the two important things when you’re doing exercise are to keep the carbs low enough to ensure you’re burning fat for fuel rather than sugar and to consume enough protein to ensure that any weight loss is fat rather than muscle mass. I’d focus on those two elements rather than the calories - should ensure that you keep blood sugars in check, have enough energy and still mean that you can lose weight. As an example, I eat as close to zero carbs as I can get and regularly exercise in a water fasted state, including for extended periods (gym weights, swimming, walks between 15-30 miles), without issue. Keeping well hydrated and replacing electrolytes is the key to this. [/QUOTE]
