Gamers! How are your gaming performances during a fast?

I do a 24 hour fast in between intermittent fasting throughout the week. I game and read to distract myself. My problem is, I'm not sure if the fasting is effecting my gaming performance or if I'm just having an off day. I know I usually have more energy and focus while I fast but I'm not sure if that translates to gaming since it's a different world. I find myself not being able to adapt as fast or react fast enough. I'm not sure, what your thoughts?! I notice this when playing League of Legends btw. Haven't really been played anything else. Cheers!

I’m on 134 hrs of my fast and play Valorant. I don’t really notice a difference. My first games are usually bad but after a warm-up session it usually corrects itself. I don’t really experience any type of brain fog either but I think it’s because I’m pretty good with my electrolyte supplementation.

Although I will say that the first 2-3 days of my fast make it hard for me to concentrate because I get cravings but once I get past that “hump” my brain feels like it’s back to normal.

Ketosis is better for me vs junk food.

If you feel sleepy after carbs it should be the same for you.

Just not on a high carb diet ( 80-10-10 ). After the initial month of getting sleepy after a meal it goes away and energy is even better than keto.

Now i do omad so its 23 hours every day.

When i do 60 hours the first day is fine, the second is not.
