You only need to replenish the 1/4 to 1/3 of your calories coming from glycogen. Conversely, with energy going elsewhere your stomach may not be happy with more than you need.
Thank you! So you’re saying 1/4-1/3rd of gross Calories used during a ride? If it was 3000 Calories in 5 hours, I’d want to consume at least 150-200/hour?
