I’ve been training fasted for a while now As long as I get my pre workout and stay hydrated I feel great Just make sure you eat a solid meal right after

Tried both When I lift fasted I feel lighter and more focused but strength takes a slight hit on heavy lifts Depends on your goals honestly

If you’re doing long or intense sessions having at least a banana or a small protein shake before helps a lot Full empty stomach never worked for me

It’s not bad if your total calories and protein are on point for the day I prefer training fasted for convenience just can’t do it for legs lol

I used to feel sluggish training fasted so now I eat a rice cake with peanut butter before the gym Small meal big difference in energy

For fat loss fasted workouts can help some people stick to a routine but performance usually suffers I’d say try both and see how your body reacts

I get better pumps and focus when I eat before lifting Even a simple carb meal makes a big difference in energy and reps
