Here at Science in Sport, you\u2019ve probably noticed grams of carbohydrate is displayed quite clearly on most of our products, but why is this?<\/p>\n<p>Knowing how much carbohydrate is in a product can be key to your nutrition strategy and we want you to be able to be in control of your nutrition and know exactly what you\u2019re taking in.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, if following a healthy balanced diet our bodies can store enough fuel to last ~ 90 minutes of exercise, anything longer than this and fuelling becomes vital to sustain our energy levels. There are many factors that will affect how much fuel we need but two important factors are exercise duration and intensity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Exercise duration and intensity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Planning on how long you will need to fuel for is vital to getting your nutrition right.

A lot of this will come down to personal preference on taste and texture (i.e. gels vs more solid-food is a big individual preference), however you should also take into account the type of carbohydrate.<\/p>\n<p>If wanting to consume more than 60 g of carbohydrate per hour, you should try and use fuel sources that have multiple types of carbohydrate to optimise carbohydrate absorption. This is because different types of carbohydrates have different transporters to carry glucose from the gut to the blood, with the maximum rate of a single carbohydrate source such as maltodextrin being around 60 g per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Fructose has a different transporter than glucose, a dual source formulation allows for greater carbohydrate delivery to our muscles during exercise, therefore increasing how much carbohydrate we can use. Our Beta Fuel range in particular works by providing these two different forms of carbohydrate which can be simultaneously absorbed so is ideal if you\u2019re aiming for more than 60 g per hour.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about how to fuel with our Beta Fuel range <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/beta-fuel-fuelling-guide\/\">here<\/a> but for an example of trying to consume 80 \u2013 120 g of carbohydrate for a 4 hour event using Beta Fuel see the diagram below!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16191 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Web-1920-\u2013-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Web-1920-\u2013-2.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Web-1920-\u2013-2-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Web-1920-\u2013-2-1024x356.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scienceinsport.com\/sports-nutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Web-1920-\u2013-2-768x267.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Take home messages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Exercise intensity and duration should influence how you choose your nutrition.<\/li>\n<li>It may take time for your body to adjust to high amounts of carbohydrate, this should be done gradually during training, never try anything new on race day!<\/li>\n<li>If wanting to consume over 60 g of carbohydrates per hour, try to use fuel sources with multiple types of carbohydrate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuelling for a race can feel overwhelming at times with nutrition having the power to make or break your event.
