I usually have some fruit, bread or a candy bar before I workout, but today all I had was a can of tuna and no carbohydrates. I was wondering if the lack of carbs had an adverse effect on my workout and just totally nullified it.
I'm crazy paranoid!

Pre-Workout carbs?
"Sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak. And when you feel weak you feel like you just wanna give up. But you gotta search within you and try to find that inner strength and just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter no matter how bad you just wanna fall flat on your face and collapse." - Eminem

Carbs are necessary to fuel your workout. Yeah protein can be converted to energy, but that is not what your body wants to do. By giving your body what it wants, you will have the energy for a more intense workout=greater gains.

carbs help pre-workout, but if you're bulking and you've been consistently getting your macros in, you shouldn't feel any different.
and if you did, it's probably just placebo.

Pre workout
I eat broken wheat porridge an hour before training and a scoop of pwo supp 20 min before training. Lifting on a near empty stomach makes me feel giddy at the gym.

It's personal preference.
Personally, I can't workout without carbs.
People like Benjamin Pakulski, they workout with 0 carbs.

Nutritional ketosis requires explicit reduction of CHO intake to generally lower than 50 g/d and, for some, <30 g/d. Protein must also be restricted, often to <1.8 g/d per kg body mass and sometimes to < 1.2 g/d per kg, with remaining calories composed from fat.
