Strengths

  • The score considers ease of eating or drinking on the move and taste appeal over this duration.
  • This product would provide 388.4 mg of sodium per hour if it covered your carbohydrate target alone.

Something to check

Factors to watch for estimated digestive tolerance: fat, fibre, protein.

What makes up the score

Carbohydrate contribution2.4 servings/h to reach 45 g/h80/100

It would take 130.3 g of this product per hour to cover your carbohydrate target alone.

Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour33/100

To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 130.3 g per hour, about 2.5 servings.

This amount is what matters: 130.3 g of this product means 19.7 g of fat, 47.4 g of protein and 4 g of fibre to digest on the move.

  • Fat: 19.7 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone 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: 4 grams per hour, slightly above the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour. Fibre bloats the stomach during exercise, can cause urgent toilet stops at the wrong moment and adds to digestive discomfort.

    Why fibre gets in the way
  • Protein: 47.4 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone goes up to 5 grams per hour. Protein digests slowly and gives no immediate energy: mid-effort, it gets in the way more than it helps.

    Why protein gets in the way
  • Polyols (sweeteners): none in the ingredients, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 1 grams per hour.

In practice

To ease digestion, alternate it with a gel or a drink.

Everyone digests differently: try your products in training, never on race day.

PracticalityFormat and taste over this duration82/100

On the move: chewed, slows you a little. Taste: sweet, welcome. Over a short effort, the format counts for 90% of the score, the taste for 10%.

Over a short effort, the format matters most.

Format: soft bar. Fifth of 8 formats, from the meal, taken while stopped, to the drink, taken while running.

A soft texture, easier to chew on the move than a hard bar.

Easier to take on the move: gels, fruit chews and drinks.

Taste

  • Sugars: 21.8 g per 100 g, above the sweet threshold of 15 g.

Sweet taste: at least 15 g of sugars per 100 g

A sweet taste that may suit a short effort.

In practice

Keep it for moments when you can chew: a climb, a feed station.

Sodium and hydration388.4 mg sodium/h in this scenario100/100

This product would provide 388.4 mg of sodium per hour if it covered your carbohydrate target alone.
