Question for the Sports Scientists!

A question for the Sports Scientists and 'pain cave' dwellers out there!!
If you are doing a training session that is going to run your tanks empty is there any training benefit in fuelling part way through the session or is it more beneficial to run yourself to empty then feed at the end of the session? I am thinking of the longer sessions of say a couple of hours.
Ta in advance.

What are your goals? Weight loss? Endurance training? Strength training?

It’s always good to fuel yourself , but personally I won’t use certain energy gels good protein bars with a good drink the, bars I have made myself, good quality dark chocolate with peanut butter vanilla honey and coconut oil ,you need to put I together correctly taste great take around 15 mins to make 15 portions .

I would like to build my endurance, I am currently doing some longer sessions up to 2 hours mostly at 80% FTP with some intervals thrown in, I can manage 2 hours with just water. I use the trainer (Tacx Neo) every other day, sometimes I do a 1 hour steady session on recovery days.I am 60 years old and had a double heart bypass 4 years ago, my cardiologist is quite happy with what I am doing! My FTP is 2.5kW/kg and my 15 second sprint is around 6kW/kg so not going to worry the professionals!!!
Thanks in advance!
