Training in the fasted state improves glucose tolerance during fat-rich diet.

I would still suggest elevating protein synthesis, at the end of the day, the studies are out there to show that TOTAL fasted training isn't optimal whereas dumping 10g BCAA down your neck 10 minutes prior keeps you basically fasted (thanks to the super low amount of calories), but ramps up protein sythn to maximum. Optimal obviously meaning maximising possible gains whilst minimalising possible muscle wastage.

I used to subscribe to this, but have come to the realisation that its some what OCD. NU said it in a question I asked about consuming 30g dextrose prior to training, I 'm no where near fasted over a 6-8 hr sleep.

It's about covering all bases with minimal effort I would say, however, if you are making the gains and progressing then more power to you, I am ALL for simplifying!
