For your endurance blend, how many calories is your blend per hour?

I am 5'3", 128 lbs female and my blend is 246 per hour.

It seems to work for me, but some recent reading is making me question whether it may be too many calories.  Just wanted to see where everyone else falls.  Thanks!

Does it work for you?  I wouldn't compare your calories to someone else's.  I am 6'2", 230#, and go about 320/hour.  My ex coach was short and 100 something #, and went hi 200s.

If it works for you, that's the important factor

My mix is 275 per serving; 5'8" and racing at 150 lbs. I don't actually consume one per hour - for IM, I had the equivalent of 9 servings on the bike and took it all in no problem.

A good rule of thumb is 2 calories per pound of lean body mass. However, that is just a good starting point if you need someplace to start. If your mix is working - stick with it.

I take in 257 an hour at 147lbs.

With 9 weeks to the race, I am not likely to make any changes since my current methodology seems to be working, so it was more of a curiosity factor.  I train like I plan to race so I try to take in one serving per hour in a concentrated bottle.  I will see how I feel after the Aquabike in 2 weeks and make any small modifications that may be necessary.

Anne, I'm 5'3" but about 10lbs heavier (grrr...that's a post IM goal) and mine is 274.  It works super for me.  However, I do Inifinit every 20mins, and then a GU on the top of the hour. 
Like others have said, if it's not giving you a nasty gut, you're not getting hungry, and you have the energy you need when you hit the run, don't change it! With Inifinit, some of it matters on what you have dialed it in to be.  If you have some questions on it, I would totally give the Infinit guys a call.  Anyone I know who has called them, has received SUPER personal service to answer all their questions.

260 cals per hour.  I'm probably 155 lbs right now.  6' tall.

However, for a HIM (A race this year), I don't drink a whole bottle per hour.  I take 3 sips every 20 mins which puts me at 200 cals per hour.  More than that, and I get a full stomach.

I'm very similar to you in height and weight (5'1, 130), and my mix was set at 217 ... and that doesn't seem to be enough.  I'm going to up it 250 calories/ hour for my next order.

I'm 5'7" at 141 lbs. race weight.  My blend is 278 cals.  I just finished IM Canada, and just like last year in Louisville, I did great with my nutrition.

My mix is at 250 per hour.

Do you guys also take in any other calories?

I also take in a gel every hour for 350 calories. I was thinking of upping my infinite by 100 and tossing out the gels.

No, I don't take any other calories -- that is why I love Infinit!  I usually carry a gel and/or Snickers Marathon bar in my bento box in case I feel like I need it or get bored and need a reward!
