Hi all.. I've been working out at the gym for about a month now.. I eat lots more protein and have been really good

This morning I had 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled w/ spinach, banana

b4 going to the gym, I had a whey protein shake

I did 10 min cardio to warm up muscles b4 using weights..

but after that warmup, I started shaking, so I had to eat my strawberries that I had

Is the shaking becuz of low blood sugar??!!! I don't have diabeitis

I thought I had a good breakfast!!

    You need carbs to be able to work out effectively. Glucose (blood sugar) is your body's primary fuel for intense cardio and anaerobic excercise. If you're on a low carb diet you probably have very little glycogen reserves in your liver and muscles so your blood sugar crashes quickly. A glass of OJ before your workout would help with that
