ALL of this shit is a scam. Protein bars, Cliff bars, Powerbars, GU (for distance athletes). All bullshit. You can get what these things give you NATURALLY . . . . I used to eat Cliff bars and take GU for marathon training. And then I woke up, realized it tastes like shit, and did some research to see what the elite athletes do. Well they sure as shit don't ingest GU at mile 19.

I eat zone bars and drink shakes because they are balanced nutrition and I cannot always eat real food when I am on a business trip (or crushed up against an important deadline). I use them as meal replacement, not as supplement.
Elite athletes may not ingest GU at mile 19, but cyclists, elite or recreational, sure as hell ingest clif shots at miles 50, 75, etc. Watch any stage of the tour and you will see them sucking down clif shots and eating powerbars. You cannot ride on consecutive days if you don't keep your nutrition level high.
