A few questions about fasting rides (fasted training)

Interesting idea, to clarify though it would seem to be crucial to ingesting BCAA’s that contain zero (0) sugar. Coach Chad mentions in this article that ingesting anything before a fasted ride besides caffeine will make the fasting ride pointless.

“Even though there’s not a ton of sugar in something like half and half or low-sugar coffee creamers, there’s still some, which will disrupt the entire fasting process if you consume it. Why? Because you’ve just introduced glycogen into the mix.”

Most BCAA’s have a lot of sugar (either fake or real), so you would have to go the sugarless route…
