What we did notice is the perceived fatigue and naps increased over time in the TRE group.

And so again, a little inclination there of saying, I think fatigue was setting in more.

Some of that didn't land statistically significant, but you start to see sort of multiple things in the same pattern.

You go, all right, if we run a follow-up study there, that might be interesting to focus on.

You don't have to.

If you can get away with it, you're fine.

It's not the thing we're super concerned about, depending on where you're at.

If you can get through it, if your total caloric intake throughout the day is fine, if your carbohydrate intake throughout the day is fine, and depending on how often you're strength training, if you're the kind of typical person who's training the same body part on non-consecutive days, then carbohydrate pre-exercise is not a big deal.

It's totally fine.

You can get away with your strength training.

It'd be a personal preference again.

If you're training, though, the same muscle group in multiple days or multiple times per day, that's when the carbohydrate timing will matter most.

So you can have it before.

Generally, people feel better with it.

Performance is usually better, but it's not always.

We will generally, as just a high-level rule, try to get more of our calories around training.

Just period.

Regardless of what we're doing, regardless of what type of training, regardless of the person, as a first level thing, that's our preference.

We want to either do it pre, mid, post.

In your example there, if we're trying to bring calories down, we're going to go somewhere else if we can.
