Effort: short · target 45 g/h
Suitable
2.1 servings/h to reach 45 g/h with this product alone.
Strengths
- The score considers ease of eating or drinking on the move and taste appeal over this duration.
Something to check
This product would provide 4.2 mg of sodium per hour if it covered your carbohydrate target alone.
What makes up the score
Carbohydrate contribution2.1 servings/h to reach 45 g/h100/100
A concentrated carbohydrate source, reducing the amount of product needed to reach this target.
Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour67/100 · Estimate with missing data
To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 84.1 g per hour, about 2 servings.
This amount is what matters: 84.1 g of this product means 6.5 g of fat to digest on the move.
Fat: 6.5 grams per hour, well above the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour. Fat takes time to leave the stomach, which stays heavy while you run.
Why fat gets in the way- Fibre · not stated on the packaging · not counted in the score
Protein: 4.6 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 5 grams per hour.
Polyols (sweeteners): none in the ingredients, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 1 grams per hour.
To ease digestion, alternate it with a gel or a drink.
Everyone digests differently: try your products in training, never on race day.
