Would it be possible to receive the excel version as well? Also, have you created any charts for energy gels? Thanks!

This is an excellent article and I have forwarded it and the chart to several of my friends. What I find most useful is that the article speaks in general terms (by ‘general term’ I mean not stating “this bar is better than that bar …”) which allows the reader solid information on which to make our decision.
The choices are daunting, but my experiences (and preferences to a lesser degree) have helped me appreciate the wisdom of this article, and what can happen if you try to rely on the wrong bar for the wrong application.
Thanks!

Sheila,
Thank you for your comment. I sent a separate e-mail directly to you that has an Excel file of the bar review. We have a review like this for recovery drinks “Recovery Drink Review and Comparison” and energy drinks “The complete electrolyte story” as well. Both can be found on our blog.

This is a great article and I could use the comparison chart with my athletes, however, it is very small type. Is there a way I can obtain a larger version?

Thank you – Sheila Leard
