this is really interesting. anecdotally, when I am in competitive shape pretty much any intense activity, particularly HIIT type stuff, is always best when I am fasted (except for BCAAs). I am often deep in ketosis at the time of maximum energy output and I seem to perform much better that way. I have no personal data to back this up, but this has worked for me for years. going to read your studies now. thanks!

That’s great data! From what I’ve read you may get even better results after a 6 week fat adaption window.
