What makes up the score
Carbohydrate contribution0.8 serving/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 hour25/100 · Estimate with missing data
To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 77.6 g per hour, about 1 serving.
This amount is what matters: 77.6 g of this product means 16.1 g of fat to digest on the move.
Fat: 16.1 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 · not stated on the packaging · not counted in the score
Protein: 3.7 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 5 grams per hour.
- Polyols are present, but their amounts are unknown.
To ease digestion, alternate it with a gel or a drink.
