Blood Sugar

The comment has been made that my fitness level is in a good state for training but my nutrition needs some work. For the second time in a handful of days my blood sugar crashed drastically to the point I felt incredibly ill. This is occurring before I don't have enough in reserve to be converted to energy when I need it. The two crashes are thus probably related because I didn't do a sufficient job of rebuilding the reserve.

When I first started training I was eating tons because I was always hungry from the increased level of activity. Eventually that hunger fell off and I went back to eating like I usually did but adding more midmorning snacks in, especially on days like going to boxing. Clearly I need to ramp back up my eating and making sure I get sufficient carbs.
