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 fast until 2pm-ish. I workout around 11am. All I have prior is water, coffee and creatine.

Eating before workouts makes me feel sluggish.

If I have to workout later during the day, it is typically 2-3 hrs after eating.

I do practically the same as you. Except I train right when I wake up, before the kids are awake 🤝

It's the one thing that scares me about the kid on the way, that I won't have time to train anymore. I go to work at 530am each morning. I don't have any room to wake up earlier for a workout.

Didn’t you say you work out around 11am? So you take a break for training?

I'm typically on the ice 630-830am. Then I go home and walk my dog for 1 hour, before I workout around 11-ish.
