There's an article in the lates (I think its the latest) Bicycling Mag about fuels, see if they have it online.
Your body can only absorb so much carbs per hour, so the calories have to come from someplace, and protein fits the bill, plus keeps your muscles from getting toast. So, protein as a fuel isn't a bad thing.

In my big 1L Zefal bottle, I mix 2 scoops Sustained and 3 scoops of Gu2O. I'm hoping that will work. Gotta long, long ride next weekend. I'll let y'all know how it works!
