Maurten Gel 100 vs Gel 160

Maurten Gel 100 vs Gel 160

As the official race nutrition products for Ironman events, Maurten gels have gained a lot of popularity among endurance athletes. But with two big options on the market, Gel 100 and Gel 160, it can be difficult to know what the right choice is for you. Today I’m breaking down the differences between the two, so you can fuel right and feel your best.

Nutrition Content: The biggest difference between Gel 100 and Gel 160 lies in their nutrition content. Gel 100 offers 20mg of sodium as well as 25 grams of carbohydrates, equating to 100 calories. On the other hand, Gel 160 contains 30mg of sodium and 40 grams of carbohydrates at 160 calories.

Overall, the Gel 160 is more energy dense, providing higher energy output per gel, but that doesn’t automatically make it the best choice. Your fuelling should be based on your individual needs and race day goals.

Caffeine Content: While Gel 100 is available in caffeinated versions, Gel 160 currently isn’t. This might change in the future, but it’s worth noting if caffeine forms part of your fuelling strategy.

Cost Considerations: Another important factor is the price of these gels, so I've crunched the numbers for you. Gel 100 comes in a box of 12 gels for $43 which works out as $3.60 per gel Gel 160 on the other hand comes in a box of 10 for $50, which ends up as $5 per gel. While Gel 100 is cheaper per packet, Gel 160 costs less for the amount of carbohydrate you’re getting.

Size and Storage: Gel 100 comes in a 40-gram packet, whereas Gel 160 comes in a larger 65-gram packet. It might seem like a small difference but, depending on how much space you have during a race, the smaller package could be considerably more practical.

It’s also important to remember that Maurten might not be the course provider forever, or they could change their formulations in a way that no longer suits you. Finding a product that works for you is great, but it’s important for athletes to have a deeper knowledge of their nutrition. That way, you can adjust your race nutrition plan to overcome any unforeseen challenges.

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Hey you! Put the scales away and listen up!  Many triathletes are interested in measuring their body composition. Whether it’s losing body fat or gaining muscle. Endurance athletes strive to be leaner, lighter and faster because you have to carry your weight across a long distance.  One of the major challenges with this is actually trying to track and measure body composition change. You’re probably using the scales as a way of measuring. but this episode explains why there are major limitations to the scales.  Listen in to my conversation with body composition manipulation expert Gary Slater. Gary is a fellow Advanced Sports Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist and loves using himself as an n=1 experiment for maximum muscle hypertrophy gains.  Gary explains why you need to stop relying on the scales and what to do instead if you want to really track changes in your body composition.    LINKS: Website: www.dietitianapproved.com To work with me 1 on 1: dietitianapproved.com/services Join the Triathlon Nutrition Academy Program: dietitianapproved.com/academy Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: facebook.com/DietitianApproved The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved Support the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
