I began mixing energy and recovery drinks since the end of last season using the m580. You will want to account for the difference in density between the m500 and m580.
I've found that 3/4 cup m580 = 100g = 376 calories
Alicia's Energy Drink Recipe- (makes 3 water bottles)
1.5 cups m580 + 3 bottles of water. Combine all ingredients into a 1 gallon container. Dry ingredients will dissolve. Pour into individual water bottles.
Alicia's Energy/Electrolyte Drink Recipe- (makes 3 water bottles)
1.5 cups m580 + 3 scoops Ultima + 3 bottles of water. Combine all ingredients into a 1 gallon container. Dry ingredients will dissolve. Pour into individual water bottles.
Alicia's Energy/Electrolyte/Recovery Drink Recipe- (makes 3 water bottles)
1.5 cups m580 + 3 scoops Ultima + 2 Tbsp Unflavored Gelatin + 3 bottles of water. This is a little more involved.
Add gelatin and enough water into a non-stick sauce pan. Stir and let stand until water is absorbed and it turns into a solid.
While you are waiting for your gelatin to solidify, combine m580 + Ultima into a 1 gallon container. Add the remainder of water. Dry ingredients will dissolve.
Use medium heat. When it starts to melt stir until liguid. Do not scorch the gelatin. You just want it to be a hot liquid. Pour liquid gelatin into your water/m580 solution. Stir/shake inorder to make sure liquid gelatin solution is blended well with your water/m580 solution. Pour into your individual water botles and refrigerate.
Analysis:
200g m580 - 376 x 2 = 762 cal 94.5g x 2 = 189g carbohydrate
Ultima 25 x 3 = 75 cal 6.0g x 3 = 18g carbohydrate
Gelatin 2 tbsp = 100 cal 26g protein
Play around with it and have fun but more importantly you need to find the ratios that work best for your needs. Remember you are your own experiment.

m580 - JMSwank is the distributor for GPC. GPC does not sell direct unless you are buying by the truckload. Smallest quantity is 50# bag. (319) 626-3683
50# of m580 is quite a lot and you may want to consider dividing the bag into smaller containers. Three 5 gallon paint buckets from your local hardware store work quite nicely. Be sure to buy lids. This is for moisture control.
unflavored gelatin - after a bit of research, BulkFoods.com sells a high grade gelatin in 5# bags.
