    Runners and cyclists call that "bonking". Your body had nowhere to get fuel to burn to sustain you.

    You can prevent it by eating just a little something immediately before exercise, perhaps 1/2 banana or protein bar.

    Then, within 10 minutes of finishing the exercise, eat again. If it is a long activity, such as a 3-4 hour ride, do make sure you eat something at the 1/2-way point.

    By the way, it is important to eat the extra calories you earn by exercising -- keeps the muscle mass fueled so the body will burn fat, not cannibalize its own muscle. If you fail to keep your calories up as a regular exerciser, you will plateau or actually even GAIN weight.

    Here's a great explanation:
