Infinit Nutrition

[kelownagirl]

Does anyone like Shot Blox? I love them. They taste like chewy fruity candy. I have to drink lots of water with them but I like them a WHOLE lot better than any kind of Gu (ew) or beverage. I like the jelly beans things too.

That being said, I really don't take in much when I ride unless I skipped a meal and then it may be 100-150 calories total on a 1 1/2 - 3 hour ride...

KSH, you knew what you needed for calories, but how did you choose everything else?

(I love Shot Bloks, especially the CranRazz flavor. Also love Sport Beans)

Well, all I knew was calories and carbs.

I did start out taking their questionaire to let them dial in a formula for me. From there, I moved up the carbs and calories... and some of the sodium since I live in a warm weather climate.

Everything else was really just a guess. I figure I'll get the first batch and have to dial it in from there.

Yea, my coach told me that he does a formula for the bike and for the run. I don't see me using this on the run though, as I would have to find a way to carry it.

Go to the website and see if they ship it there. You can only order the stuff online.

I use to do a Shot Blocks and loved them. Unfortunately on runs they seemed to be doing not good stuff to me. So I had to stop using them.

Yea, Gu is too thick for my liking. Accel Gel is much thinner and I use that... or PowerGel. I also put the gels into a falsk and mix some water in to thin them out.

Than shot bloks IMO. Shot bloks were good, but too big and stuck to my teeth. The moons are smaller, not as sticky, and taste better. Plus they are made for us girls..
LOVE the pomegranite and watermelon flavors.

I have not tried Infinit and first I heard of it here. I use Accelerade...it is SWEET and foamy...but for long rides I definitely do not get as hungry or need "real food" when I ride with this. Obviously I do best with protein. As for the "gels"....I only like certain ones. But I had to share that the Gu Chocolate Outrage when "cold" or cool is like squeezing chocolate fugde or icing in your mouth! Yeah it is super sweet but now it is a like a "treat". Howerver, when warm (I do live in Florida) it is like melted chocolate...ok, still pretty yummy! Never thought I would think a gel or "gu" would be a treat--call me crazy!

Hi Ladies, I am the boss over at INFINIT. Saw this pop up as a Google alert and thought I would throw in my 2c.

One, ladies are for what ever reason more sensitive to salt tastes then the men (maybe all the bacon we ate as kids, I dunno). I would recomend starting with your electrolyte levels in the 300-325 range. That will make it less salty, but should still have enough to eliminate salt pills. If you have issues with cramping bump it up tot he 350-375 range.

Flavor wise, to the right of middle is a perfect place to start. Our flavors are way less than most products to start with. We find that sweet and stong flavors are fine in transition, but way too much after you have been working our for a couple of hours. Orange is the most popular followed closely by LL, then FP.

Protein, a little goes a long way. level 2-3 (that is 2-3 grams) is enough to keep you from getting hungry. To me that is the biggest benefit, it should eliminate your need to eat solid food. Eating is a pain and I feel like crud for about a half hour after. Liquids are easier to digest no question.

Many of our clients have two formulas. One with protein and higher calories for training and also for the bike portion of a long race (>1/2 IM). A second with NO protein, 10-15% less calories and you can even throw in some caffeine. This works great for the run on your tri's and also any sprint racing or running races.

Obviously one of the cool things is that you can adjust calories to fit where you are in your training, and/or to manage your calories. It will taste the same and contain electrolyte, but just be lo-cal.

All of our stuff has no artificial flavors or colors. It's an all natural product.

Hope that helps. If you have any questions I will try an pop back or my e-mail address is attached to my INFINIT 1 account here. Just e-mail me. Glad to do it.

Hope you all are haveing a great spring.

Michael
