An alternative to carb gels
Author Last Post

Hate the taste or expense of carb/glucose gels.  Try this!  Potato as effective as carbohydrate gels for boosting athletic performance, study finds  https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191018125512.htm

 

The article is a bit unclear about amount.  They say, “We found no differences between the performance of cyclists who got their carbohydrates by ingesting potatoes or gels at recommended amounts of about 60 grams per hour.” But are unclear if the 60 grams (just over 2 oz) are total weight or amount of carbs.
