I think a lot train fasted due to not wanting to cram a meal in before a 5AM workout which makes tons of sense. I was the one that was eating light and still not allowing enough time to digest so then I just stopped having a meal and went bcaa only. It was until the day I read about someone saying not to worry about cramming one in and just have some carb powders and aminos. I will say I felt night and day difference with eaa/karbolyn drink. 1.5L water mix start drinking on way to gym and the pumps and recovery were constant workout to workout. I gym afternoon now after day shift at work so I always have time and not rushed to get some cream of rice/whey and some fruit.
I am the same. I hate eating just before the gym. The times I have to it's minimal (banana and whey for example) so I don't feel full. If I had to train quickly after getting up I probably wouldn't eat but would have an intra shake. I have done that in the past and the pumps and my general endurance was night and day compared to being completely fasted. Now if someone isn't training that hard and in the gym approx 40 mins that is different. For me training 50-90 mins and hard with low rest periods it makes a massive difference.
