Is training fasted optimal for hypertrophy and strength.

I drop down to 25% carbs on the weekend which also means my caloric intake drops considerably from what it is on days I train. If you take in too many carbs it will spill over and be stored as fat very easily. I honestly have seen how this helps me keep the fat off. Eating high protein is good because it also, through the thermic effect of food, forces the basal metabolism up 25-35% so you burn much more calories at rest. It will probably work great inn your case since you are doing quite a lot of aerobic training.

My fasting insulin is usually between 78-85mg/dl. The problem I have is getting into a clinic while i am fasted.
