Strengths

What makes up the score
Carbohydrate contribution2 servings/h to reach 45 g/h98/100
It would take 102.3 g of this product per hour to cover your carbohydrate target alone.
Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour12/100
To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 102.3 g per hour, about 2 servings.
This amount is what matters: 102.3 g of this product means 12.3 g of fat, 12.3 g of fibre and 14.3 g of protein to digest on the move.
Fat: 12.3 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 wayFibre: 12.3 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone 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 wayProtein: 14.3 grams per hour, well above the comfort zone, which 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 wayPolyols (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.
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: 26 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.
Keep it for moments when you can chew: a climb, a feed station.
