breaddrink replied to eknight003's discussion 'Type 1 energy for running (finally got it figured out! :))'"You're not doing anything 'wrong'. You're just getting to the same point via a different route.
You're starting high to end low, so you need to figure out how to maintain a mid point (say 140-180) for a short duration of…"

"250?
I would feel gross-something I have been preaching on here for a while is I eat mainly fat and protein (but no more than 120-150g prot as this then gets converted into glucose) When I have been diligent and maintained a low carb day (20-50g…"

Even though you ended up at a good number, this is pretty high. Have you tried starting at a more moderate number, say 150, while at the same time letting a glucose tablet dissolve in your mouth while exercising?
