first of all, i'm not a medical professional, but i have given blood before. when you give blood the nurses tell you not to exercise for at least 24 hours afterwards. it shouldn't make a huge difference in the whole scheme of training for a marathon, but it will disrupt your weekend training schedule.

eat something w/o carbs

if you want to know how many calories you can eat to maintain your current weight you can change you settings to maintain current weight (instead of lose 1 pound or 1/2 pound or 2 pounds). see what that number is just as a reference point then you can change it back to your original setting

same thing happens to me...

i would suggest some warm tea (no calories!). the warmth and the water normally fill me up, or you could save a few hundred calories and create a meal called midnight snack.
