[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 564242, member: 34990"] If you're worried about electrolyte loss (that's what lucozade/powerade etc. harp on about loads) just make yourself a big drink of strong squash and put a pinch of salt in it. Does the exact same job but is 100 times cheaper - know a lot of mountain bikers that do this. Power bars etc. can be handy, but then when you look at them you're better off just having real food of similar values - again, with mountain biking, instead of buying expensive energy bars just have a flapjack or something similar. It's got the slow release energy from the oats and quick release from the syrup/chocolate/whatever else is in there. Protein shakes can be useful to get more protein in to your diet if you can't get enough through normal food. It's always better to get your nutrients through actual food, but if you're struggling to fit it all in, then shakes are perfect for supplementing your diet. [/QUOTE]
