Its important someone exercising does not run out of energy, as it discourages further effort and subsequent gains in fitness and can cause the bodies feast/famine responses to kick in. The time to reduce calorie intake for weight control is post recovery. (i.e. Skip the afternoon tea cream bun, not the pre ride gel) | |

Sam Davey's opening sentence is a better title for this question.

Judging by one answer, my phrasing may have suggested that I'm asking for the losing-weight recipe. Reworded to remove any ambiguity.

| Oct 9, 2020 at 17:50 | comment | added | Andrew | I'll offer a suggestion for your research, mainly because I don't have much experience: Fasted cardio apparently allows the body to more quickly switch to burning fat as an energy source. But, avoiding the bonk... For me, a physically unusual specimen in the biking world, it became a matter or trial and error. Did I bonk at mile X last time? Eat at mile X-3, let's say. That sort of thing. Not a very satisfying answer, for sure. | |
