I’ve heard that there are benefits to having protein during exercise. Why doesn’t CarboPro 1200 contain protein?
Protein is certainly KING. It’s an absolute must for any athlete. An athlete should maintain a minimum intake of 1.25 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight, per day. However, it’s not necessary that this protein be consumed during training or racing. In fact during activity all you need are water, calories, and electrolytes. Any thing else in the mix will only prevent proper absorption of calories, and mess up hydration. Your performance will suffer. There are a lot of research studies and clinical studies which point towards keeping it simple: consume protein before and after the activity, not during. Unless you are doing ultra-distances, such as Ultra-Marathons and Cycling Tours you do not need protein during the activity.
