The recent talks about insulin got me thinking about pre and intra-workout nutrition and for the first time in years I had a shake 90 mins pre-workout.
It consisted of:
Protein: 31 grams
Carbs 85 grams (12 grams sugar)
Fat 3.5 grams
When I got to the gym, I was sweating bullets, my heart was racing, and I felt foggy. I sat down on a bench in the locker room, changed out of my soaked clothing and left.
Background: I normally eat a lower carb diet of <100 carbs a day, I had a cup of coffee prior to workout (same as always). Also, came home, had a 1,500 calorie meal, took a nap, and now feel fine.
Is it possible I went hypoglycemic since I am not used to that amount of carbs? Something else I should be considering?
