67out of 100

Effort: short · target 45 g/h

Combine with other products

2.3 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 score combines the product's additives and the share of whole foods in its ingredients.

What makes up the score

Carbohydrate contribution2.3 servings/h to reach 45 g/h98/100

It would take 103.5 g of this product per hour to cover your carbohydrate target alone.

Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour44/100

To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 103.5 g per hour, about 2.5 servings.

This amount is what matters: 103.5 g of this product means 17.6 g of fat and 24.8 g of protein to digest on the move.

Fat: 17.6 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: 1.6 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour.
Protein: 24.8 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

Over a short effort, the format matters most.

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: 21.7 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 hydration81 mg sodium/h in this scenario59/100

This product would provide 81 mg of sodium per hour if it covered your carbohydrate target alone.

Composition3 additives present40/100 · Estimate with missing data

This score combines the product's additives and the share of whole foods in its ingredients.

An additive missing from the Glyk rubric counts for a default 5-point penalty.

An uncertain identity was excluded from the penalties.

How the overall score is calculated

The score is a weighted average of the available criteria. Their weights are redistributed when a criterion is missing.

Carbohydrate contribution: 20 %
Estimated digestive tolerance: 30 %
Practicality: 30 %

Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour47/100

To reach 60 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 138 g per hour, about 3 servings.

This amount is what matters: 138 g of this product means 23.4 g of fat, 33 g of protein and 2.1 g of fibre to digest on the move.

Fat: 23.4 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: 2.1 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: 33 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.

Taste

Sugars: 21.7 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 become tiring with repeated servings.

In practice

Keep it for moments when you can chew: a climb, a feed station. Alternate with a savoury or neutral product to avoid tiring of sweetness.

Taste

Sugars: 21.7 g per 100 g, above the sweet threshold of 15 g.
