You shouldn't be too worried about using a replenishment drink such as Cytomax, Accelerade, Gatorade, etc., or a power-gel in the midst of superhard activity such as biking or racing.....a 130 pound woman averaging just 16 mph on the bike burns 590 calories per hour....a power gel is only 100 calories. All that carb goes straight to your bloodstream and will be used up really quickly. I cycle 100+ miles per week and have found this does not affect my weight. I have done 5 triathlons this year, two bicycling centuries, am doing the MS-150 this weekend, and have also done running races (5ks) and duathlons. I have maintained my Atkins goal weight for 6 months now.
