First I never stated that, I thought i was pretty clear when I said take up(not consume) considering the audience and that I stated a range with an about qualifier. Maltodextrin=glucose. At this point you are splitting hairs considering the nature of my suggestion. Your anecdote that another racer consumes 400 cals/hour doesn't really help your cause because you haven't shown that its actually beneficial to consume that much or that there is a difference in that range considering the range of CHO metabolism in Jeukendrop's actual study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18202575

2 PB&J sandwiches cut into quarters plus maybe a little something else at the 1/2 way point should do it

Maltodextrin is bad for your gut health, it will destroy all the good friendly gut bacteria and mess up your digestion, I would never put that crap inside my body.

I'm going on 20 years using it for bike food. I even use it for breakfast the mornings before big rides. Everything's working just fine. It's just long-chain glucose molecules. Nothing unusual. One of the big pluses of malto as an athletic fuel is that it is not sweet. You can drink it all day and not get tired of it. The other is that the long chain molecules have a lower osmolality in the stomach than do simple sugars. This allows it to pass more quickly across the stomach wall. Beta Fuel used by Team Sky among others is simply maltodextrin, fructose, and electrolytes. So far Team Sky seems to be doing just fine. I can't burn the calories like Team Sky, so I get along fine without the fructose.
