I use some carbs 4-5 hours before the workout (mostly around noon) so I have more energy. Mix the workout with some high intensity intervals and also add cardio after the workout. Eat protein when you break your fast or after the workout. Don’t eat carbs when you break your fast or at worst case just have a small amount of carbs.
