fueling 100 mile clif shot bloks vs jello

[danza]

Hi have a 100 miler in a month and trying a few diffrent energy products latest being
Clif shot blok chews but to be honest they look and taste like jello thats straight out of
the box is there any major advantage to them? I know there is caffeine but can get that from other products.

Jello is 100% natural has double the calories is a lot cheaper and comes in many nice flavours,

Anybody tried jello or should i stick with specialist products?

Thanks Dan

Read the back of each package then come back and ask again if you still think they are interchangeable.

are high in simple sugars. Simple sugars are much more difficult to tolerate than long chain sugars (maltodextrin). I always prefer the long chain sugar energy products (most gels) for this reason.
GU, alternating with GU's Roctane works well for me whether it is a long ride/race, or a big day of splitboarding.

From Wikipedia:
Gelatin, a protein produced from collagen extracted from the boiled bones, connective tissues, and intestines of animals, has been well-known and used for many years.

To the OP...are you sure this is what you want to use during a long race? 100% natural...LOL
