Sweetspot workouts should be hard but not so hard you can't do them for long. The point is to get a lot of work done in a shorter amount of time - bang for buck.
You're probably doing them poorly if you're doing them fasted.If I was only doing 45min of work then I would probably be doing it harder than sweetspot or it would just be a rest day commute thing and I'd save it for a proper 2-4hr sesssion.
hippy-
Your drinking sessions are only 2-4h?

I've been hitting my wattage targets during my sweetspot intervals. I do need to do another ftp test soon, though.
Rough plan
- is 2x fasted sweetspot workouts (1hr each)
- 1x v02 max intervals (1 hr)
- long distance rides at weekend (4-5 hour)
- 1 yoga session per week (1hr)
- 2 core workouts per week (30 mins each)
That's an ideal week but I figure if I stick to that over the winter, when spring rolls around I'll be in a good position to start churning out long rides more regularly.
Thoughts/comments welcome.

A friend of mine was telling me I should be taking some protein in during fasted workouts.
Usual workout is something like an hour long, with 10 mins warm up and warm down, and 45 mins of sweetspot intervals. I do 2 of these a week, with only a black coffee before hand.
Protein during/after - yay or nay?
edit: I do other workouts too, but just curious about fasted sweetspot intervals particularly.
