Thanks Possegal! It really is quite helpful to see the numbers, thank you!

Regarding fasting cardio - has anyone done this who is prone to unstable blood sugar? I do get hypoglycemia, though not as often as at one time
I am trying to understand the purpose for fasting cardio and the best approach. So taking amino acids as a supplement prevents our body from using muscle as energy and thus uses fat?

The idea behind it is that it, because your liver is theoretically depleted of whatever stored glycogen it had when you went to bed, your body will then turn to stored fat as its energy source. I say allegedly because there is some dispute as to this basic premise. Just Google it and you'll get a sense of the debate.

I, personally, would proceed with caution if I had hypoglycemia. Try it on the trainer, perhaps, so that it's easy enough to stop and grab some food if you start to falter. I wouldn't recommend it for a ride on the road or trail.
