It’s been now about a week, and just focusing on protein and fat did not fix the issue. Tho I have to say maybe it was a bit easier to manage then usual exept at specfic points.

So what’s not going well: **Rest days.**

I feel like every single rest day I’m just starving, specifially Friday (after thursday Threshold), and weirdly today.

I’m trying to think what I should try next this week, but I’m confused because on one hand I feel like it’s when I have more carbs that it starts spiralling real bad, so I could see the argument eating too much.

That would aslo explain why it’s mainly on rest days that I feel so much hunger.

But at the same time, on wednesday for example, when I didn’t have that much food in the afternoon I really started feeling my legs getting tired even if they previously were fine, (I wonder if my body is just using the muscle glycogen storage from my legs to fuel me).

So yeah, here is some macros of this week, (ignore Saturday, it’s only half day).

For now I’m just going to keep following what I saw on this thread everytime I have one of theese hypoglycima events.

> If you’re not training, reduce activity level (sit) if possible. Drink 4-12oz water, depending on thirst, and consider moving all or part of the next meal’s healthy carbs to right now. Wait 20 minutes. If it persists intensely, consider adding 20g more healthy carbs, or moderate-moderately high GI carbs like banana, melon, mango, white rice, skim milk, most breads.

But I guess maybe the question is, how do you fuel after workouts, do you aim to recover 100% what was burned (trainerroad calorie amount)?

EDIT: Sorry for the rumbly post, I’m having quite a lot of hunger today and just adds a bit of frustration.
