I was thinking about this a couple of days ago. I inadvertently did a 100k fasted on Friday morning (couldn't face brekkie for some reason) and without a doubt it just compromises training quality in terms of power production.
Are there any benefits to working when glycogen stores are very low?

Some quarters are advocating it. Like the guys from Trainerroad who I mostly respect.
I've already cut out wheat booze but finding sugar is unavoidable when I'm training.
Definitely going in the right direction but keen to give things a nudge so I can get down to target.
I was awake between 2am and 3am solely because I was hungry :(

Why do people think doing fasted rides will be any help loosing weight! I never get it.
Stop eating dinner and just have a glass of milk instead. And cut out all wheat, grains too really. If you eat any processed sugar then that too.
And feed up for your rides and train hard.
Fasted rides are really for improving fat burning metabolism. They can be used to help loose weight, but there are better ways. Lifting heavy weights is a good one.
