The Triathlete's Guide to Cheap Fueling: Save $1,500/Year on Sports Nutrition

$14.99

Are You Tired of Spending $200+ Per Month on Gels, Drinks, and Bars?

You're not alone. And you're right to be skeptical.

The sports nutrition industry has built a multi-billion dollar empire convincing athletes that expensive branded products are essential for performance.

Here's what they don't want you to know:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will homemade fuel work as well as premium brands?

A: Yes. The main ingredients are identical: carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water. A $4 Maurten gel and a $0.15 homemade gel contain the exact same maltodextrin and fructose.

Q: Is it time-consuming to make?

A: 90 minutes of batch prep on Sunday gives you fuel for the entire week. Mixing a sports drink takes 30 seconds.

Q: What if I mess up the recipe?

A: The recipes are simple (sugar + salt + water). Hard to mess up significantly. Worst case: adjust flavor next time.

Q: Can I still use premium products sometimes?

A: Absolutely! Many athletes train on DIY fuel and use premium products on race day for convenience. You'll still save 80%+.

Q: Do I need special equipment?

A: No. Just basic kitchen items (measuring cups, bottles, containers). Optional: food processor for bars, blender for recovery drinks.
