Subject: RE: Where to start with training nutrition? I'm pretty much in the same boat as you regarding workout times.
What I did was ordered a sample back from trisports of energy gels.
http://trisports.com/samplepacks.html
They put those packs together for those of us who aren't really sure. It's a pretty good starting point.
To be honest though, I haven't really used much of the energy gels. for the workout times that you and I are in anything beyond a sports drink probably isn't that needed. I've tried accelarade and it seemed to work well although I didn't have much to compare it to.
Trisports.com also has some of their energy drink mixes available in single servings. Try some of those and see what you think. I'm having a hard time spending 40 bucks on a jug of powder that might not work and might taste like junk..
Oh.. and that brings me to another thought i've been having lately regarding these energy gels/bars/drinks ..
no matter what flavor you buy.. that flavor name is simply a mere suggestion of what you may choose to believe that it tastes like. not to say that they all taste bad.. just don't go into it thinking that its gonna taste like what it says it will.
just my $.02
