Question for my strong friends: training fasted or not?

Context: had a long conversation with a friend who does CrossFit competitions. He says training fasted is terrible 🤣

I feel like it works great but I don’t want to discount his advice either. Maybe there’s a middle ground?

He says that I should take a banana, oats, protein and creatine right after training. I have creatine during training but I eat for the first time 6-7 hours after training.

(If you don’t train don’t answer please)

I’m unsophisticated. I eat a fat slab of meat around 11 everyday. I just go in the gym whenever and go hard. Usually 2 or 3 times a week. I will fast occasionally and workout and have never felt compromised. But don’t do it often enough to know if it’s counterproductive.

I personally feel my body will tell me when something is fine or if it’s not. I just keep things simple.

Working out fasted I am as strong and energized as not fasted. Checks out with me.
